Donated dollars to disaster victims in Turkey, Syria matched by federal government
What can B.C. residents do to help the people of Turkey and Syria dealing with the devastation of last week’s earthquakes?
Money is what is most required to speed up relief efforts, says Breanne England, the Canadian Red Cross head of region for the Middle East and Africa, and she’s asking residents to donate what they can to the Red Cross relief efforts. Residents fearing aftershocks are afraid to return to their homes and sleep in their vehicles or camp outdoors. Soccer stadiums and tent encampments provide temporary shelters, but it’s not nearly enough to replace the damaged homes.
