7.3 earthquake in Van - Turkey

I hope those buried alive under the houses can get help soon
 
Thanks Ankita. Van is quite a distance from us. Thinking of all those poor people who have died and been injured. Thinking of those trapped under buildings. God help them all.
 
thank you soulmum for this thread. And thank you to my all dear friends who keep praying for us from all over the world.

In Turkey unfortunately we have lived very very bad times since Sunday. it's so sad that many country have to live with these type of situations, storms, earthquakes, tsunamis etc. We all try to get together against them, just like against Catrina, Haiti earthquake or Japan tsunami and many others. i hope no country will never ever live these things... :cry:

Unfortunately, many sad sad sad "stories" are talked about those who died or injured because of the earthquake. they lost their kids, mothers, fathers, grandpa/mas, uncles, aunts, friends, homes.... i want to share a few of them with you.. you know sharing sadness is one of the most effective thing to make it easier.

a little baby girl, named Azra, she was born only 14 days before the earthquake. Her mother told to the press about those worst times in her life : Baby girl Azra was breastfeeded by her mom under the building for many hours. Then her mother's milk started not to comes out and this little girl started to cry, because she was hungry, she was just a little baby. Her mother.... oh God, it's so sad. :cry: Her mother noticed that there is no milk anymore from her breasts. She starts to feed her little baby with her saliva to keep her baby alive. A happy ending. Both of them are rescued and they are healthy now. but listening this from that heroine mother is one of the hardest times for all the people in my country.. i cannot imagine how hard this was. :cry: :cry:

Unfortunately, all the "stories" don't end happily. :cry:

A boy, he is only 13, named Yunus, he just had gone to a cafe for a while but the earthquake caught him there. he was alive under that building. When search and rescue team found him, he was looking his enviroment with his beautiful eyes, he was frightened, he was worried, he couldn't understand what had happened to him.... a hand was seen on his neck, this hand belong to another victim of the earthquake. Yunus had waited with that death body under the building. This body saved him. He could speak to the team. His first question :"What is the time?" They said:"it's 10 pm." he said:"ohh, it's too late. My father must be worried about me. Don't say him anything." Then he was rescued, too. but... but... but his little body couldn't hold on to the life because of internal bleeding and went to the Heaven in the ambulance. His photo under that building:

he is not with us anymore... this little kid... :cry: :cry:



:cry: :cry:

And many other people unfortunately are not with us. 63 teachers died.... it's so bad. :cry: i cannot stop crying whenever i think about them.. most of these teachers are too young, 22-30 years old. they were there just to educate those beautiful kids, just to teach them many new great things, to prepare them for their future lives... but.... :cry: no word can be enough to explain my feelings..

i think i couldn't go on writing. i cannot stop crying.excuse me :cry: :cry:

please go on praying, please...

MyLifeMJ - such sad times for us in Turkey. The soldiers deaths and then the earthquake. So many unhappy stories but also some miracles too. It is nice to see the offers of help from other countries - Turkey is not standing alone. Where I live we have sent many parcels of warm clothing for those who now have nothing. Tents are still needed because so many are homeless and it's very cold at night now in Van and the surrounding areas. Donations can be made via the Red Cross from all countries. Please help.
 
MyLifeMJ, please stay strong dear! I know this is a hard time for your country and for many other places in the world that are facing natural, economic and political calamities :(

I'm keeping you all in my prayers! Like Michael has always taught us to, let's all do our best to heal our world in whichever way we can! Sending our L.O.V.E, prayers and best wishes is one of them :angel:
