HÜDA PAR (Free Cause Party) has called for humanitarian aid after a powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit southern Turkey and northern Syria early Monday.
“We wish Allah's mercy on our citizens who died in the earthquake in Kahramanmaraş and the surrounding provinces, and a speedy recovery to the injured. We wish our people under the rubble to be rescued as soon as possible. We invite everyone to lend a helping hand,” HÜDA PAR wrote on Twitter.
