Go to GlobalGiving.org and help the victims of the earthquake in Turkey by donating to the Turkey Earthquake Relief Fund.
A devastating 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck eastern Turkey on Sunday, Oct 23, 2011, causing many casualties and several buildings to collapse. At least 240 people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured. The mayor in the region has put out an urgent request for aid to help with disaster relief and recovery efforts.
This fund will support disaster recovery and relief efforts for victims of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Turkey on October 23, 2011. The fund will support groups like AKUT and Kizilay through the Turkish Philanthropy Funds, in addition to other groups working on the relief effort.
This project will disburse funds to both international and local organizations in Turkey providing relief and emergency services to victims. We have been in touch with partners working on the ground in Turkey and have confirmed their need for assistance. As we did with our Japan Earthquake fund, we are committed to ensuring that your donation goes to help local relief efforts and will post more details as we have them.
