\n<\/b>Medill Reports<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In the wake of early February\u2019s earthquake along the Turkish and Syrian border, the Turkish diaspora of immigrants in Chicago has packed and shipped more than 2,500 boxes of donations full of winter clothing, sleeping bags, hand warmers, diapers, baby food, hygiene products and other necessities, to their homeland through the Turkish American Cultural Alliance (TACA) since the first day of the disaster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the death toll from the earthquake surpassed 50,000, an estimated 13.5 million people have been displaced and an estimated 35% of the Turkish economy was wrecked. These numbers are only increasing, said Vildan Gorener, president of the Turkish American Cultural Alliance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine an earthquake \u201cwith the force of 130 atomic bombs,\u201d she said, describing the aftermath. The impact devastated seven provinces in Turkey and northern areas of Syria. \u201cThis is larger than many countries in Europe, larger than Portugal and even Hungary.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hundreds in Chicago are reaching out to donation centers across the city, said TACA board member Suzan Ozturk-Taylor. According to her, around 50 to 60 people come to volunteer each day at TACA. Many of them come from different backgrounds with different reasons to help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maya Skintges, 39, is originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country northwest of Turkey. She first heard about the donations drive from her mother, who saw the news on TV.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI came here as a refugee in 1997, lost everything in the war. So I know when people are in need,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eugene Batkhuyag, ethnically Mongolian, volunteered because he felt a cultural closeness to the Turkish people. But also on a day off, he wanted to be useful \u201cinstead of doing something like watching a movie.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI hope I’m being a help here, but I don’t know,\u201d he said. \u201cI can\u2019t donate a lot of money, so another way to donate is my time.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gorener described local communities as extremely supportive of TACA\u2019s calls for help and a remarkable example of human solidarity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNow Chicago feels more like home to me,\u201d Gorener said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Right after the earthquake, Northwestern University’s Turkish Student Association started fundraising campaigns. By offering donuts to anyone who donated over $5, the students collected more than $8,000. The real scale of destruction, however, is far greater than anyone can comprehend, said Yagmur Dora Aytemiz, a computer science major at the McCormick School of Engineering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cImagine if every building from Philadelphia to Boston collapsed,” she said. \u201cThe amount of funds to fix that problem would be much more than $8,000.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the general sense of concern and empathetic response to the earthquake, some people appear unaware of the situation or mistake it for something very casual because it’s in the Middle East, Aytemiz said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She and other Turkish students said they feel selfish doing homework instead of fundraising, but some professors see it as if they\u2019re benefiting from the situation, she added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I asked for an extension from the purpose, the only thing the professor said was, \u2018You can already submit a day late with a 10% penalty,\u2019\u201d Aytemiz said, explaining that she was busy selling donuts for donations. \u201cThe professor didn\u2019t even ask me if I was OK.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At least six people died and about 300 were injured, 18 critically, after major aftershocks struck southern Turkey on Feb. 27. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported the quake as being of magnitude 6.3 magnitude.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Syria, which had already been facing the largest refugee crisis in the world with over 15 million in need of humanitarian aid, according to the International Rescue Committee, has been struggling with more destruction and a growing number of victims. Earlier the United Nations <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a> a death toll of about 6,000 for all of Syria, including 4,400 in the rebel-held northwest. The true number of victims, however, may be higher because most of the areas have not yet been scanned, independent commentator Hadi Nasrallah noted, referencing the U.N. reports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAleppo was already been facing a lot of devastation before,\u201d he said. \u201cThere was the Battle of Aleppo, the city was still recovering until COVID-19 happened, and the earthquake made things much worse, buildings are still falling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As soon as the earthquake struck, the internet became a forum for concerns about the unequal media coverage of Syria compared with Turkey. Nasrallah, 28, said the reason is a lack of official international reports because some organizations are unable to remain neutral.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat made a lot of media coverage be like, OK, let\u2019s not get influenced, just focus on Turkey, put Syria in the middle of the coverage,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The responsibility for the insufficient response to the earthquake in Syria partially lies in 2004 sanctions imposed on Syria by the United States, Nasrallah said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Hadi

The first 24 hours were crucial, and there should have been at least more effort to send out groups of volunteers, tools and machines to dig people out, he said. The Syrian government could have a firmer response, he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere should have been more aid, not just clothes,” he said. \u201cOK, that’s helping the people who survived. What about the thousands of people under the rubble? What about the homeless? What about people who are permanently injured? We’re just not gonna do anything to them?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Syrian Community Network (SCN) in Chicago is not currently accepting donations but instead is referring people to external organizations that do on-the-ground work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the city, we have held community gatherings for those affected by the earthquake,\u201d said August DeVore Welles, a volunteer and outreach coordinator at SCN. \u201cWe are checking in on all of our clients regularly to provide support emotionally, as well as extra services to those who need it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the donations flowing to Turkey, Nasrallah said he believes the aid is unlikely to reach Syria, since the country can only be entered with permission from the Syrian government \u2013 and through the Turkish border \u2013 where the controlling military won’t allow anyone else to enter except those from the United Nations, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Feb. 13, the Syrian government allowed crossing points to open at Bab Al-Salam and Al Ra\u2019ee from Turkey to northwest Syria for three months to deliver humanitarian aid. The decision was welcomed by U.N. chief Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, who said it \u201cwill allow more aid to go in, faster.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A few days before that, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released a statement authorizing for 180 days all transactions related to earthquake relief that would be otherwise prohibited by sanctions involving Syria. However, Nasrallah said there’s no going forward with Syria when it comes to rebuilding unless the sanctions are lifted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think something’s going to change in the future, but, unfortunately, it’s going to be worse,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
