Last Monday, February 6th, two earthquakes hit the south-east of Tรผrkiye and the north of Syria. More than 11 000 deaths have been confirmed and tens of thousands of people are injured. Thousands of people have lost their homes. Our thoughts are with all the people directly affected by this tragedy, as well as our students whose friends, families and loved ones are affected.
If you have the means and want to donate money, as money is probably the fastest way to help, we recommend you to donate to one of the organisations listed above.
As the AV and AStA, we also want to help those affected by the earthquake by collecting and sending clothes and different items through different organisations.
