#Turkish Red Crescent

[runawaycarouselhorse]

Lifting sanctions won't help the Syrians in the Free Zone (NW Syria), as Assad's regime actively blocks aid. To make sure it truly reaches them, donating directly to volunteers on the ground who are actually saving people! These are all legitimate and recognized non-profits.

They're in the recovery phase now, no longer the rescue phase, as chances of survival are very low, but some children and even babies are still being found miraculously alive. Don't lose hope!

Most videos you see of rescues are White Helmet videos. ^^

White Helmets -> http://www.twitter.com/SyriaCivilDef

MolhamTeam -> http://www.twitter.com/MolhamTeam

They both have Paypal.

As for Turkey…

AHBAP https://ahbap.org/disasters-turkey

AKUT https://www.akut.org.tr/en/donation

Are both considered more trustworthy than the Turkish Red Crescent.

"When the bombs rain down, the White Helmets (also known as the Syria Civil Defence) rush in. In a place where public services no longer function, these humanitarian volunteers risk their lives to help anyone in need – regardless of their religion or politics. Known for their distinctive headwear, the rescue workers operate in the most dangerous place on earth and have saved more than 100,000 lives over the past five years.

Former bakers, tailors, engineers, pharmacists, painters, carpenters, students and many more professions besides, the White Helmets are volunteers from all walks of life. Many have paid the ultimate price for their compassion – 252 have been killed while saving others..."

[caramelcuppaccino]

hey everyone. turkey has been struck by a very strong earthquake around four am. even now, many regions are being struck still. the weather is cold and snowy and people had to leave their homes. many people have lost their lives (edit: it’s been reported that the number is 1004 now (edit: more than 1500) (edit: more than 2000) (edit: more than 3000) (edit: 5434) (edit: more than 12.000 peope have lost their lives) (edit: more than 34.000 people have lost their lives) (edit: more than 40.000 people have lost their lives) (edit: more than 9000 injured people) (edit: 22.000 injured people) (edit: 31.777) (edit: more than 62.000 people are injured) and there are many people who are stuck under the wrecks (edit: number unkown) it has been reported that around two thousand buildings have collapsed and keep collapsing (edit: more than 9000) turkey has declared a fourth level alert state. the ‘’level 4’’ alarm condition includes an international call for help. if you can and would like to, this is the most reliable organization you can donate to:

(ps: akad and red crescent are not trusted by turkish locals. especially afad because they are lying about the help they send and the number of people. please refrain from donating to them. AHBAP is the most trustworthy organization that sends help immediately).

((please do not hesitate to contact me if you need help with the website/language while donating))

(((1€ and 1$ almost equal to 20 turkish lira. so even a little amounts means a lot to us.)))

((((it has been reported that around 194.000 people are under the wrecks and still waiting to be rescued))))

(((((people are sharing notices of victims who are still under the wrecks and waiting to be rescued on twitter ever since the earthquake and turkish government officially announced that they are banning twitter. this is the reason why we don’t want you to donate to afad and red crescent; they only listen to the government. they don’t care about the people.)))))

Emergency aid for Rojava!

Humanitarian aid for the victims of Turkey’s aggressions

Turkey has been bombing civilian infrastructure in Rojava (North and East Syria) since 4th of October 2023, and the region is heading for a humanitarian catastrophe. Turkey has bombed more than 150 targets so far: Much of the region's vital infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed in a matter of hours. Turkey’s attacks have so far caused dozens of civilian deaths and injuries and destroyed 80 per cent of civilian infrastructure, including water and power supplies, hospitals, residential areas, schools, oil fields, factories and warehouses. Hundreds of thousands of people have been cut off from electricity and water supplies for days now. The Covid hospital in Dêrik, one of the most important hospitals of its kind in the region, was completely destroyed by the Turkish air strikes. Numerous other health facilities have been destroyed, hospitals cut off from electricity, cold chains broken - there are calls for blood donations. As Turkey’s attacks continue, the humanitarian situation is expected to deteriorate further and the death toll to rise. The Kurdish Red Crescent (Heyva Sor a Kurd) is on the ground providing vital humanitarian assistance. Support the work of Heyva Sor a Kurd with your donations!

ISRAELI OCCUPATION FORCES MURDER PALESTINIAN YOUTH IN OCCUPIED WEST BANK

📹 The body of a 17-year-old Palestinian youth lies on the ground after the Israeli occupation forces shot and killed the boy in the town of Meithalun, south of Jenin, in the occupied West Bank on Thursday.

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), paramedic crews transferred the body of 17-year-old Ali Hassan Ali Rabaya, shot by the Zionist army in the town of Meithalun, to the Turkish Hospital in the city of Tubas in the occupied West Bank.

Local reporting states that the Israeli occupation army stormed the town of Meithalun, resulting in clashes before occupation soldiers opened fire on the town's residents, killing a Palestinian youth.

This brings the number of Palestinians killed by the occupation army in the occupied West Bank of Palestine to 573, including 138 children, while another 5'350 others have been wounded, since October 7th, 2023.

Beekeepers in Türkiye's southwestern province of Mugla sent 20,848 jars of honey to Gaza through the Turkish Red Crescent Society on Tuesday.

The jars of honey were prepared for Palestinians living under Israeli oppression in the enclave and sent to the port of Mersin for delivery as part of an initiative led by the Mugla Beekeepers Association (MAYBIR).

Speaking at a ceremony, Mugla Governor Idris Akbiyik emphasized that Mugla beekeepers were not indifferent to the ongoing genocide and said he believes that humanity's reactions would bring an end to the oppression.

Although all people living in the region have been seriously affected by the earthquake, the Romani, Domari, and Abdal communities living in the region are experiencing even greater difficulties due to the structural defects of their houses and the difficulties in accessing aid. Many of these communities are in difficult to reach areas, meaning the Red Crescent, Turkish Disaster & Emergency response teams, and other humanitarian organisations have not yet provided support these neighbourhoods and will probably not provide support until long after all other regions have been supported. Romani, Domari, and Abdal people have not yet been able to benefit from the tents and containers set up in some places in the earthquake zones as they are too far from the areas where they live. In the centre of Hatay, there are approximately 12.000 Domari and Romani people living in around 2.000 houses, of which almost all have been destroyed. We estimate around 3000 of these are children, 500 are people living with disabilities, and 1000 are elderly people. There are similar communities throughout the region, whose entire neighbourhoods have been completely destroyed. As these communities are amongst the poorest in Turkey, and often live in poorly constructed homes, their losses are proportionally more severe with entire communities made homeless.

How to help the survivors of the earthquake in Syria and Turkey

From this news item, with some better links.

UNICEF is on the ground in Turkey and Syria helping children and families in the aftermath of two devastating earthquakes. The Turkish Red Crescent is accepting donations and providing nutritional services and blood supplies for those affected or wounded by the earthquakes. “We invite our citizens to donate blood,”said Dr. Kerem Kınık, the organization’s president. Humanity & Inclusion is working in Turkey and Syria to distribute food and basic household necessities, focusing on seniors and people with disabilities. It is accepting donations here. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are working with health authorities to provide medical aid. To donate, click here.

Israeli air raids reported in the vicinity of Gaza’s European Hospital

Oct 31st, 00:30 GMT

We are getting reports that Israeli air raids have targeted the vicinity of the European Hospital in southern Gaza.

Earlier, we reported that the Palestine Red Crescent said artillery and strikes were taking place near the Al-Quds Hospital, creating fear among patients and the thousands of Palestinians who are seeking shelter at the medical facility.

The Turkish-Palestinian Hospital in Gaza also sustained a “direct hit” resulting in damage and injuries on Monday.

Meanwhile, the director of the Indonesian Hospital reported that the hospital was hit for the third time early on Tuesday. The extent of the damage could not be immediately determined.

people are sharing notices of victims who are still under the wrecks and waiting to be rescued on twitter ever since the earthquake and turkish government officially announced that they are banning twitter.

this is the reason why we don’t want you to donate to afad and red crescent; they only listen to the government. they don’t care about the people.
