Potresni prizori djece spašene u ruševinama svakodnevno pristižu iz Turske i Sirije nakon razornih zemljotresa koji su pogodili obje zemlje. Save the Children koji na terenu pruža pomoć djeci pogođenoj posljedicama zemljotresa, podsjeća da se utrka s vremenom nastavlja i da je neophodno pravovremeno obezbijediti sklonište, medicinsku njegu, vodu i hranu u najteže zahvaćenim područjima. Broj poginulih u zemljotresima premašio je 11.000 s više hiljada povrijeđenih, ali broj žrtava, nažalost nije konačan. Prva 72 sata smatraju se ključnim za spašavanje preživjelih, a naročito djece s obzirom na vremenske uslove i izrazito niske temperature.
Procjenjuje se da su zemljotresi pogodili približno 23 miliona ljudi, među kojima i mnogo djece. Preživjelima u Turskoj i Siriji hitno je potrebna humanitarna pomoć u vodi i hrani, skloništima, zimskoj odjeći i dekama
