I’m speechless and devastated by the destruction and loss of life from two powerful earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. The world must do what it can to come to the aid of the many thousands of victims.
@georgetakei Turkey's government may now be more western friendly - for a minute.
@georgetakei - I hope Syria will stop fighting long enough to get help.
@georgetakei it is such a tragedy, made worse by the Russian siege on parts of Syria making necessary for the country to depend on Turkey for food, medical supplies; almost everything.
@georgetakei A tragedy πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ but what a opportunity to go in there and use all our technology and know how to help and save poeple. πŸ™πŸ’œπŸ™ Let's show the best of humanity in the face of this disaster πŸ’œπŸ™πŸ’œ
@georgetakei it’s pretty bad, but it does look like there is a concerted effort to send help. It also looks like they have been diverted flights around the affected area so rescue workers can listen for people trapped in the rubble etc.
@georgetakei
if they accept the help
i'm told Elon offered Starlink and Turkey refused

World Central Kitchen
Doctors Without Borders
@georgetakei Israel is aiding both Turkey and Syria.
@georgetakei
This is not an uncommon drill. When I first got to Europe, there were soon 2 earthquakes in Turkey, one killing ~2k, the second, ~5k. Our wing was airlift, and massive tonnage was delivered in support.
We'll do our part. Turks are not particularly grateful for Western aid, though.
@georgetakei The footage is heartbreaking. What a massive tragedy. It's humbling to think how much at the mercy of the earth we all are. We live on this planet that we have little ability to control.
@georgetakei πŸ’• indeed, it’s time to put politics aside and humanity first. Truly horrific
