Every second counts, every effort is valuable, as long as we save a life.
Millions of people across a wide geography with 10 cities, districts and villages have been affected by two major tremors centered in Kahramanmaraş.
We are experiencing the sadness of losing our loved ones and relatives and the deep anxiety of those we have not yet reached.
Our hopes are strengthened by the efforts of our citizens and teams from other countries who are trying to save one more life despite the harsh conditions of winter.
Wherever we are, we strive to deliver a drop of water, a slice of bread and a warm blanket as much as we can.
Our members are trying to deliver the materials they have woven and sewn themselves and the aid they can collect in a short time.
We would like to thank our members and the management of Özcanlar Tekstil, Telateks, Teksim, COATS Turkey for their contributions.
We are aware that this is just the beginning, we will continue to support as much as we can according to the needs.
Every second counts, every effort is valuable, as long as we can save one more life. Let’s heal a wound.
Today we received the painful news of Kibar Özdemir, one of the former executives of our union, who we learned was under a cave-in and could not reach for three days.
The loss of Ms. Kibar, whose heart was full of love for people, who knew it was her human duty to help and who was always a volunteer supporter of our union, has once again burned our hearts.
We will always remember her with respect and love.
We wish mercy to all the people who lost their lives in the earthquake and hope that the injured will recover their health as soon as possible.
