55 municipalities member to the GABB (Southeastern Anatolia Region Union of Municipalities) are involved in the aid campaign
Tents are basic need in the region on the eve of a cold winter
BAYDEMIR: With this spirit and conscience, our solidarity needs to continue for three months more at least. There is a need for at least 10 thousand tents in Erciþ alone. The municipalities within the boundaries of Diyarbakýr aim to provide at least thousand tents in the soonest time by using their own means. We also call on our people to buy tents as much as they could afford. We should mobilize until everybody can shelter under a tent on the eve of the depth of winter.
