Dear All,
By now many of you would have heard about the major (7.8 Richter scale) earthquake that struck south-eastern Turkey in the early hours of Monday morning. The earthquake, which hit near the town of Gaziantep, was closely followed by numerous aftershocks - including one quake which was almost as large as the first. As of today, more than 6,000 people have been killed & thousands injured by a huge earthquake.
From Singapore, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) is sending an advance team of 20 SCDF personnel comprising officers from the elite Disaster Assistance And Rescue Team (DART), paramedic specialists & a doctor to Turkey to assist with rescue efforts. This is in response to a request for humanitarian assistance following the deadly earthquake.
For Singaporeans who would like to do more to help out, the Turkish Embassy in Singapore is requesting for the following items :
> Winterwear (especially for children)
> Blanket & sleeping bags
> Women’s hygiene materials
> Children food & diapers
> Canned food (halal)
> Off-the-shelf painkillers
Note :
- Items have to be new or unused for hygiene purposes.
- Preferably packed in a transparent bag.
You can bring your donations to :
