Nikki Gamer, a spokesperson for the U.S.-based Catholic Relief Services, told CNA that CRS is supporting local church partners in Turkey and Syria, including Caritas Turkey and Caritas Syria, but coordination remains difficult. CRS is raising funds via a banner on its website. “Telecommunications are disrupted and transportation is impaired, complicating relief efforts and attempts to identify and account for family members.
Witnesses to the tragedy said the earthquake and its aftermath were, though brief, just as traumatic as the war.
