An earthquake with a 7.2 magnitude hit Turkey, and hit hard, with 601 people killed. The problem now that they are facing is that there is not enough tents for the people who had lost their home due to the earthquake. Now, temperatures are dropping and there is said that there will be more rain and snow. Because of the dropping temperatures, this will have a big affect on the survivors' health. Health authorities are advising to not drink tap water, for it might be contaminated from the sewage. Residents cannot go back to their houses due to severe aftershocks one aftershock happening on Sunday morning had a magnitude of 5.3. State authorities are now asking other countries to help provides tents and other health supplies.
This applies to me because now I know that when I do get money, maybe I can send money to Turkey. It is sad that a lot of people must live without a home due to a horrible natural disaster. No one deserves to live without a house, especially without any clean water. This should apply to every one because as a country we can help another country in need.
