Unfortunately, Turkey recently experienced two of the biggest earthquakes in its history, one after the other. Major cities in the southeast of the country are affected, with close to 10,000 buildings collapsing. The total number of people affected in 10+ cities is around 15 million. After 48 hours, we have thousands of people still under the rubble. Moreover, adverse weather conditions make it difficult to organize and help in the region.
