Groundwork – Direct Support to the Camps

In order to co-ordinate the activities in Turkey, a 3-member team went to Turkey on 07th April, the easter day. The team, comprising Mr. Vinod Balakrishna Pillai, Mr. Nimay Pillai and Mr. Prakash Narayanan went to Adana and met the Sewa coordinators there.

After reaching Adana, the volunteers visited the region of Hatay, which was the prime location of the earthquake destruction. Hatay was hit by a 6.4-magnitude earthquake and a second measuring 5.8 two weeks after the first earthquake. After the earthquakes, people here were battling against the clock as the temperature plunged to become very cold which made the further helping mechanisms to more risk.

As we observed, some of the cities and towns were completely destroyed in the Hatay region.

Second day, we visited the city Osmaniye. Almost all buildings which were more than 2 floors were razed to ground. Almost all the shops and institutions were still closed which were using the multi storied constructions. People have been moved to different parts of the country in their respective camps.

On the last day we went to Kahramanmaraş and met with some officers and people in the camps and affected areas.
