ANTAKYA, Turkey, Feb 20 (Reuters) – Turkey stepped up work to clear away rubble from collapsed buildings on Monday, as rescue work wound down two weeks after major earthquakes killed more than 46,000 people in southern Turkey and northwest Syria.
\nTurkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) said that nearly 13,000 excavators, cranes, trucks and other industrial vehicles had been sent to the quake zone.<\/p>\n

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO<\/p>\n

Global Relief (GRf) is a South African based relief organization that facilitates professional and other volunteers to assist the survivors of major disasters around the world and empower the affected communities to take ownership of their own reconstruction.<\/p>\n

Currently<\/strong>, we are helping people in Turkey and Syria, after the devastation left by the 2023 earthquake. Please view\u00a0new posts on our current <\/a>page.<\/p>\n

It all started when a group of volunteer medical people, a psychologist and civil engineers assisted earthquake survivors in Turkey, 1999. We will therefore be returning to the country, but to a different area.<\/p>\n

Our medical volunteers provide medical treatment and our civil and structural engineers inspect buildings to determine their safety. Our psychosocial workers are trained to help survivors deal with the emotional trauma of a disaster.<\/p>\n

We have provided essential services at major earthquake scenes in Turkey, Algeria, India, Iran and during the Southeast Asian tsunami of December 2004.<\/p>\n

GRf is a volunteer organization. We rely heavily on donations from the public in order to continue providing these emergency services. Click here<\/a> to make a secure online donation towards our emergency fund.<\/p>\n
