People throughout the Bay Area are organizing to help earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria. As search and recovery efforts intensify, the death toll is now over on 8,000.
The first team of volunteers is already en route to Syria, where they estimate hundreds of thousands of people need help.Especially for those who’ve been fighting for years to help underprivileged children there, like Bay Area resident Nurdan Civi.
“The images are just devastating, the kids getting out of concrete blocks and every minute their chance of getting rescued alive is getting slimmer,” said Civi.Their music events raise funds to send girls to school in Turkey. But on Tuesday, she and her husband are sending money to family members who’ve been displaced.“They lost their homes, they lost hospitals, they lost everything, they lost schools so maybe we will dedicate our efforts to build new school for these kids,” said Civi.
Their next event has been pushed back till May, but she says they’ll keep working in other ways, to raise money for devastated families in Turkey.
