26 dead so far, search and rescue is ongoing as we speak, many buildings in Izmir, Turkey been destroyed
...fresh water/food/medical supplies...rescue aid over the coming weeks and months is going to be such the important key to the ultimate deaths...

Dictating Clown Erdogan's problem, not mine
...it’s not Erdogan that any of these dangers are going to impact, Nicky..It’s the people already suffering a loss of their homes and in some cases, a loss of loved ones...and will also be facing water/food/medical shortages as well...it’s a time when other countries have to make the aid needed, their problem...

hope my country doesn't send any help tbh
stand your ground against erdogan

stand your ground against erdogan
...it really isn’t Erdogan who ‘standing ground’ would impact, Nicky...he’s all fine and dandy...it’s the people already suffering and devastated by this quake who will... and with continued life loss that could have been prevented with getting aid there quickly now...but I’ll leave you with your own opinion and thoughts of how you feel Erdogan will personally suffer through ‘standing ground’...

no of course it is terrible for people who lost their homes, but if Erdogan somehow has emotion (which i find hard to believe) he and his government would help out people this quake had a huge impact to their lives
but he should not count on foreign help considering his recent words towards France

...with a devastation such as this, all countries would be reliant on ‘foreign help’ because their own supplies would be destroyed and water supplies, contaminated etc...that’s what such a force of nature does to a country...

can't argue against this, yes their water supplies might be contaminated, and maybe most of those affected are not pro-erdogan so yeah might be wise if we help out
but i think EU in general will send out some construction supplies, fresh water
we always do such little things so
