Aid organisation, Gift of the Givers says search-and-rescue teams are already on standby to fly out to earthquake-hit Turkey and Syria by Tuesday at the latest.

A massive earthquake struck central Turkey and northwest Syria on Monday, pulverizing apartment blocks and heaping more destruction on Syrian cities already devastated by years of war, killing over 1400 people and injuring thousands.

“The Al-Imdaad Foundation has a strong presence there. We work very actively there. We know pretty much the entire terrain. The moment the earthquake struck that part of Turkey, immediately we activated our emergency response protocol and immediately we began to facilitate relief aid to those individuals, those areas, and those communities that have been affected.”The magnitude 7.8 quake, which hit in the early darkness of a winter morning, worst to strike Turkey this century.

“We were shaken like a cradle. There were nine of us at home. Two sons of mine are still in the rubble, I’m waiting for them,” said a woman with a broken arm and injuries to her face, speaking in an ambulance near the wreckage of a seven-storey block where she had lived in Diyarbakir in southeast Turkey.
