After the earthquake with epicenter in Maraş that hit 11 provinces, the Labor and Democracy Platform, which includes HDP and unions, continues to help the earthquake victims in the Crisis Coordination Center they set up in Batman (Êlih).

The Platform, which is working with 150 volunteers, said that dozens of trucks were delivered to the earthquake zones in coordination with the HDP members who have been in the areas affected by the earthquake since the very first day.

The platform said that they communicated with the families one-to-one, and that help was provided according to what everyone needed.

293 families reached in 5 days

The spokesman for the Platform said that 1,561 people from 293 families reached them within five days, and were given aid.

The spokesmen also said that many people approached them offering houses to rent and some even offered money to pay for the hotel for some families.

The Platform said that some of the families who came to Batman initially went to AFAD officials, but AFAD did not take care of them.
