MELETİ – Almost 4 days have passed since the 7.7 magnitude earthquake centered in Mereş Bazarcıx at 04.17 on 6 February. Despite the tens of thousands of casualties and injuries that affected 10 provinces, the fascist Turkish state does not intervene in the rubble areas.
While the people in many places are mobilizing their own resources, there are hundreds of villages that cannot be reached yet. Meletî is one of the cities first affected by the earthquake.
As in other cities, many places with debris are not intervened in Meletî, while the people load the materials and food they collect with their own means on trucks and bring them to the earthquake zones. In this process, when the society will heal itself, HDP Youth Assemblies also called on all young people to join in solidarity. The aid collected from the cities of Kurdistan and Turkey is transported to the distribution point in the Akçadağ district of Meletî in order to meet the vital needs of the earthquake victims with trucks.
