They also play with toy fire engines. "They say... 'We have to go to the earthquake quickly'," she said.has climbed over 41,000, and millions are in need of humanitarian aid after being left homeless and without basic amenities. "During the first few days, whenever the boat would rock the children would get anxious. They thought it was an earthquake," Civelek added.
