The solidarity network Rete Kurdistan Emilia Romagna provides information in northern Italy about the consequences of the earthquake on the Turkish-Syrian border area and collects donations for the Heyva Sor.
Solidarity events are taking place in Italy for the victims of the earthquake in Kurdistan, Turkey and Syria. The number of confirmed fatalities in the two consecutive earthquakes on 6 February has recently risen to more than 46,000, with 40,642 deaths reported in Turkey alone on Saturday evening. Tens of thousands of people have also been injured, and thousands are still missing. Those affected need long-term support beyond emergency care.
Solidarity in Italy is great. Numerous organizations and trade unions took part in events in Milan, Parma and in the municipality of Sant'Ilario d'Enza in Emilia-Romagna. The events organized by Rete Kurdistan Emilia Romagna solidarity network informed on the aftermath of the earthquake and blamed the government for the extent of the destruction.
The funds raised for the earthquake victims will go to Heyva Sor’s Italian branch, Mezzaluna Rossa Kurdistan-Italia.
