A series of big earthquakes hit southern Turkey and northern Syria today – areas with a high number of migrants, refugees and internally displaced communities. Our thoughts are with everyone in these areas. ❤🙏🏾

Bugün Türkiye'nin güneyini ve Suriye'nin kuzeyini bir dizi büyük deprem yaşandı - çok sayıda göçmen, mülteci ve ülke içinde yerinden edilmiş toplulukların yaşadığı bölgeler. Kalbimiz, düşüncelerimiz bölgelerdeki herkesle birlikte 🙏🏼❤

تعرضت مناطق جنوب تركيا وشمال سوريا اليوم لسلسلة من الزلازل الكبيرة - هذه المناطق يتواجد بها عدد كبير من المهجرين واللاجئين والنازحين. نتمنى السلامة للجميع، وقلوبنا معكم. 🙏🏾❤️
