VAN EARTHQUAKE RELIEF FUND
EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS NEED YOUR SUPPORT! HELP US REBUILD/REPAIR A SCHOOL IN VAN PDF Print E-mail

 The city of Van, Turkey and surrounding cities was hit by a 7.2 earthquake on October 23, 2011. Presently, the death toll is 605, including 63 teachers, with over 5,000 injuries. These numbers are expected to increase. Numerous buildings have collapsed or have been seriously damaged including surrounding schools and dormitories. 

 

 

 Although the initial quake only lasted a matter of seconds, aftershocks continue to rock Van and its surrounding areas. The latest of the aftershocks included a 5.6 magnitude which killed 40 more people on November 9th and another 5.2 aftershock on November 14th. Also, last week a child died from hypothermia, which was caused by the nearing winter season in the eastern part of Turkey.  Therefore, it is vital that supplies and support continue to flow to the region to help the victims of the Van Earthquake.
