  • February 6, 2023 - Earthquake in Turkey - Fundraising to help the Turkish population affected by the disaster

    Message from the Governor of Rotary District 2430 (Turkey):
    Dear fellow Rotarians,
    We are having a great tragedy now in our District. This morning at 4 am we had an earthquake at 7.7 Richter scale, and many aftershocks, reaching up to 6.6. This afternoon we had another earthquake, which is not an aftershock, it is 7.5.
    Thousands of buildings were collapsed, hospitals collapsed, highways were broken. The cold weather conditions make life even harder and since roads are not available, we can not send goods. The main natural gas line was broken so electricity and heating is the biggest issue at the moment.
    So far about 1000 deaths were reported, and thousands of casualties. The government officials can not predict how many final number will be so the aftermath is frightening.
    This earthquake was felt in and affected severely 10 cities, which are: Kahramanmaraş, Gaziantep, Antakya, Adana, Diyarbakır, Osmaniye, Kilis, Adıyaman, Malatya, Şanlıurfa. 
    As the three Rotary districts of Turkey (D-2420, D-2430, D-2440) we are now applying to the Disaster Response Fund, but when the large area affected is considered we will need more to recover. Our clubs have already started donating to our District’s disaster accounts and we kindly invite you to provide your support.
