Uzbek volunteers serve traditional food to quake victims in southern Türkiye

Cool Story - Uzbek volunteers serve traditional food to quake victims in southern Türkiye

On Monday, Uzbek volunteers in southern Turkey provided traditional food to roughly 2,000 earthquake victims, including a musician well-known throughout the Central Asian nation.

In Hatay, one of the regions most struck by back-to-back earthquakes earlier this month, musician Sardor Rahimkhan told Anadolu, "Our major purpose is to show people the destruction since it is not like what you see on social media."

The traditional Uzbek rice and meat dish is known as osh was served to earthquake survivors in a tent city built by Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar in the Samandag neighborhood of Hatay by Rahimkhan, who also formed the charity, Yurak Amri.

Rahimkhan emphasized the need for long-term assistance for earthquake victims by stating: "They need houses and clothing." The earthquakes severely devastated a wide area over 11 provinces in Türkiye, which is home to approximately 13 million people.

"Could you picture someone asking about water the moment we started serving breakfast? A visitor begging for food, bread, or any other item" He pointed out the desperate needs of the earthquake survivors. Even, lack access to drinking water.

Yurak Amri intends to remain until "quake sufferers start living better than before."

One of the volunteers at the tent city, Fazliddin Rustamov, stated that the charity intended to remain in Hatay "until quake victims start to live better than before."

"Our location at the time of the earthquake was Istanbul. We brought our team the next day, landed in Hatay, and started helping people" explained Rustamov.

He emphasized that earthquake victims are currently facing various obstacles, from housing to clothing, and said, "We are doing our best by providing three meals per day to them."

He went on to warn that such a catastrophe might happen to anyone and urged sympathy for the earthquake victims as well as the sending of relief to them.

Regarding survivors' requirements, he said: "We will start to turn our focus to other victims' needs, such as housing, as hundreds of thousands of individuals have found themselves homeless (after the quakes)."

He expressed the expectation that with the help of the general public, survivors would soon occupy new residences.

According to Rustamov, representatives of Baykar, the drone manufacturer that built the tent city, commended Yurak Amri for its efforts. The company's chief technology officer Selcuk Bayraktar recently paid a visit and expressed his thanks to the Uzbek volunteers.

On February 6, two powerful earthquakes shook southern Turkey, killing at least 44,374 people.
