A devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake and a series of aftershocks struck southern Turkey on February 6. Entire cities are in ruins, thousands of lives are lost, and thousands are still trapped under wreckage in freezing temperatures. Turkish government issued a level 4 alarm with an international call for help. There is urgent and dire need not only for heaters, generators, medical, and technical equipment, but also basic necessities such as water, food, portable restrooms, and so much more.
