i’ve only seen around 3 posts roaming around tumblr about what is happening in izmir, turkey and turkey’s recent economy which is getting worse as days pass.
a 6.9 magnitude earthquake happened in the coast of turkey, a beautiful city and my hometown called izmir, a few days ago; not many international news outlets cared about it and most of the people are clueless about the situation. there are 100+ deaths and 1000+ injured. people lost their families, homes, everything they cared and worked for just in 15 seconds. people stay in tents in this cold weather, in the middle of a pandemic, and most of them don’t know where life is going to take them.
in addition to this, the economy is so bad that people can’t buy a single bread to eat as well as fresh water, and with the earthquake happening along with the rising covid-19 cases, the situation is getting worse.
sadly turkey doesn’t have options like paypal, venmo or google pay. i will link some sites that you can donate with your credit or debit card. since the sites are mostly in turkish, i will explain how you’d be able to donate.
keep in mind that $1 equals to 8.4 turkish liras and €1 equals to 10 turkish liras which will be enough for at least one person to buy two breads and three bottles of water.
ps. since i’m a turkish citizen i can easily donate on these platforms, i don’t know if citizens from all over the world would be able to donate but it wouldn’t hurt if you tried it, and even if you can’t donate, please share this post by reblogging to spread awareness!
