Support Elazig Earthquake Victims

The magnitude 6.8 quake shook Elazig province, about 550 km (340 miles) east of the capital Ankara, shortly before 9 p.m. (1800 GMT), and was followed by 462 aftershocks, according to AFAD. Twenty-five people were killed in Elazig and four more in the neighboring province of Malatya, AFAD said, adding 1,466 others were injured. Our thoughts are with the injured and the families of the victims. We extend our deepest condolences to all families who lost their loved ones. We would like to convey our sympathy and solidarity by establishing this campaign. 100 percent of your contributions will go to the people who are directly working in Elazığ to help victims recover from the devastating effects of the earthquake and rebuilding efforts. I myself and my family are citizens of Elazig and we are devastated by the damage caused. The money will be sent to Ramazan Soysal who is a veterinarian as well as my uncle who is holding a campaign for the victims.
