While the Red Crescent health workers have examined 10 thousand victims so far, they have distributed free drugs to nearly 16 thousand victims. On the other hand, 275 disaster survivors were provided with home care.

“We cry together and try to recover together”

As soon as we got the news of the earthquake, Rukiye Melike Yağmur, an X-ray technician in Kızılay’s mobile health vehicles, went to the region with Kızılay’s mobile health vehicles, and we stay in a container with our doctor and psychologist friends in the shopping mall parking lot next to the ebrar site, which was destroyed in the earthquake. While talking about what we saw until the evening, we cry together and try to collect each other together. We try to be motivated by the moments when we are happy or make us happy. We have touched and will touch the lives of many people here,” he said.
