Earthquake in Turkey - what can we do in support of victims?

[Elgee]

As I'm sure you're all aware, a very strong earthquake hit southern Turkey on Sunday. The epicentre was near the city of Van - read more about that here.

 

If anyone knows of ways in which people can help the unfortunate victims, please post here.

 

One of our members, Bela_theDO, is from Turkey - luckily she is safe!

Thanks a lot Elgee you are really amazing :)

 

For the info i found:

 

 

Looked for Turkish Red Crescent first-there is a long list of bank accounts which you can donate on here

 

British Red Cross is trying to look at the situation and understand how much money/material needed-more info here

 

Searched for American Red Cross-but in it's official site there is nothing about the earthquake.But for people living in U.S-i found this:

Text GIVE TURKEY to 80088 to donate $10 to Turkey Earthquake Relief Fund. Message and data rates may apply. Only works for US mobile phones

 

Found a relief fund on here

 

I can look up to other country donation programs if needed.
