Aid organizations say the next few days are crucial when it comes to rescue operations. One local organization is leading its own emergency response team in Turkey.
Chicagoan Halil Demir says he woke up to a distressed phone call from his sister in Turkey.
Demir’s family survived but says that the road to recovery is long as thousands have been left homeless. “We have a tent and I know we have been requested to work with the government entities,” Demir said. “We need urgently water and food. We need hygiene kits and milk for the babies and I know we need blankets because it’s very cold and people are outside.”The powerful earthquake registered 7.8 in Turkey and Syria early Monday morning. Devastating aftershocks have also been reported.
“We are hoping that we will open centers where people can drop off blankets, strollers and things that can help,” Demir said. “At this stage, we are only sticking to financial support. We have to look at the logistics of the ground and how we can receive the containers.”
