People can&#8217;t find food, and people can&#8217;t find shelter. People don&#8217;t have toilets, and some froze under the buildings that are being wrecked right now. People are not feeling safe. Looters are everywhere, terrorizing people. And we are extremely worried. Because we know we are in an earthquake [prone] country. How is it possible that they allowed this? They allowed the buildings to have permits?<\/p>\n<p>For my Turkish peers in Chicago, I contacted Turkish undergrads at SAIC, and we have decided that we should start making people aware of the situation. I&#8217;m the only one in MFA so I have decided that anything in the March show, anything that I can earn, is going to be donated to <a href=\"https:\/\/ahbap.org\">Ahbap<\/a>. That&#8217;s the only organization that we trust as Turks. It&#8217;s a nonprofit organization led by a Turkish singer.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t sleep, I can&#8217;t eat, I can&#8217;t work. I keep watching the videos for like six or seven hours a day. I can&#8217;t function. I sometimes cry out of nowhere. I can see the damage; I can feel the damage. I am a survivor of the 1999 earthquake myself, so the old traumas are coming back to me. We all feel ashamed that we&#8217;re the fortunate ones who are not under the rubble. Every Turkish person that I talked to says the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>People can help by donating to <a href=\"https:\/\/ahbap.org\">Ahbap<\/a>. They can pray for us. I think the most important thing is that we don&#8217;t lose our passion for this issue because it&#8217;s been eight days, but this is gonna be, I think, at least six months to a year for everyone to recover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"fws_69f43f0c280b6\" data-midnight=\"\" data-column-margin=\"default\" class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row inner_row\"  style=\"\"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\">

Chicago is known for, that right away, we step up and work hard.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Suzanne Akhras, Syrian American<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Founder and Executive Director of Syrian Community Network<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So it was late Sunday night, and we were about to sleep. And we turned on the news \u2026 I called my husband, Dr. Zaher Sahloul, and started to watch what was happening. And then he immediately called his field office for MedGlobal in Gaziantep and started to call different people, and he got an emergency board meeting at midnight. I could hear him talking about their response and how they needed to act.<\/p>\n<p>People should donate to credible organizations. They shouldn&#8217;t donate to these big organizations like the Red Cross or the U.N. I&#8217;m sorry, but they have so much funding and many people supporting them.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of the local NGOs, the organizations that are run here in the United States, like <a href=\"https:\/\/medglobal.org\/syria-and-turkey-earthquake-emergency\/\">MedGlobal<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/rahmaww.org\">Rahma Relief<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sams-usa.net\/sams-responds-to-devastating-7-8-earthquake-impacting-syria\/\">Syrian American Medical Society [SAMS]<\/a>, and a few other organizations that are doing the work on the ground. They speak the language, are originally Syrian or Syrian American, they know the region, they know the people inside and out. We need to support their efforts because they&#8217;re relevant and have a linguistic and cultural understanding of the region.<\/p>\n<p>So if they know of people, they should donate new clothing, coats, blankets, pop-up tents, or anything they can find. And that would be the best thing they can do to support people in their efforts for humanitarian relief.<\/p>\n<p>I know <a href=\"https:\/\/medglobal.org\/syria-and-turkey-earthquake-emergency\/\">MedGlobal<\/a> is trying to collect medical supplies. So people \u2014 hospitals, nurses, pharmacies, anyone with additional foreign medical supplies, whether it&#8217;s gauze, medicine, mandated, or whatever the case may be different medications, diabetes, other essentials\u2014 people should donate to organizations and focus on just the relief efforts and supporting the people who are doing the work because a lot of these organizations take the money and purchase supplies at local markets in Turkey. So this way, you&#8217;re supporting the local market and the people who are on the ground and supporting the organizations.<\/p>\n<p>The Turkish consulate collected clothes, and people flew to Turkey to take supplies, but they&#8217;re overwhelmed with so many donations. And that&#8217;s what Chicago is known for, that right away, we step up and work hard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-2 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69f43f0c2dce9\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row article-image\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap center\" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-max-width-mobile=\"default\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" >\r\n      <div class=\"inner\">\r\n        <div class=\"hover-wrap\"> \r\n          <div class=\"hover-wrap-inner\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-animation skip-lazy \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/23.02.22-Syria-Turkey-Quake-web-1.jpg\" alt=\"Fatma, Pinar&#039;s grandmother wearing a brown blouse with a gray cardigan and Pinar wearing black pants and gray shirt with an arm around her while sitting on a beige couch\"  \/>\r\n         <\/div>\r\n      <\/div><span class=\"vc_figure-caption ccfic-text media-caption\">From right, Pinar Istek and her grandmother Fatma Istek in her home Summer, 2022, in Malatya, Turkey.

They live in Malatya, mostly.<\/p>\n<p>My grandma&#8217;s house was determined to be too damaged to return. My aunt is my grandmother\u2019s primary caregiver and took her to another city. I also have family members who are spending time during the day in their homes but are sleeping with their kids outside in tents. Multiple buildings in the city collapsed, even brand-new ones.<\/p>\n<p>When I saw the news, I talked to my mom, she didn&#8217;t know what was happening at first, then she checked on our family when I told her. Our family did not get hurt, but their living situation drastically changed.<\/p>\n<p>The ones who stayed in Malatya are staying in tents, and my aunt, who lives in another town, has an apartment there where my grandma is staying.<\/p>\n<p>It is heart-wrenching. I obsessively follow the news, and people were still being rescued alive 7 to 9 days after the initial earthquake. It was a miracle. But when you look on social media, most of what I read is how delayed and ineffective the rescue efforts have been, and how looting has started happening.<\/p>\n<p>To help, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doctorswithoutborders.org\/\">Doctors Without Borders<\/a> has a specific fundraiser for this.<\/p>\n<p>I think at the very basic human level, just knowing that another human being is stuck under rubble, dying inside collapsed buildings, losing their entire families should be enough for Chicagoans to care and pay attention to what is going on in Turkey. People are gone, entire families, wiped out, 20 or 30 members of a family, completely gone. Even questioning why people here should care about is heartbreaking to me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_50 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_sep_color_black wpb_content_element\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-2 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69f43f0c2fd33\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-2 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-8 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col padding-3-percent inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<h3 id=\"how-to-help-earthquake-victims-in-turkey-and-syria\" style=\"text-align: center;\">How to Help Earthquake Victims in Turkey and Syria<\/h3>\n<p>Here are some on-the-ground organizations that accept donations to provide direct aid, emergency kits, medical assistance, food and more to those in Turkey and Syria.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ahbap.org\/\">Ahbap<\/a> is an NGO founded by Turkish musician Haluk Levent, providing food, shelter, and medical supplies for those in need in Turkey.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doctorswithoutborders.org\/\">Doctors Without Borders<\/a> is an NGO that provides humanitarian medical relief in conflict zones.
