  2. Men that have moved from Syria to other lands should return to their home land and help their remaining families in Syria with the rescue teams after the aftermath of the earthquake and bring with them tools and equipment to help with the search for people while they still have time because there is not enough people around to rescue everybody. I am sure if they get together they can get a plane back to there home land.

  3. This is actually true
    I dunno why but the support in comparison is huge

  4. Turkey and syria supports russia and genocide of the Ukrainian nation.

  5. It's a earth 🌎 quake. What Can we do ?

  6. Erdogan failed all time again in this earthquake too. He wasted 2 days before people could be rescued. He brought Turkey to its knees in 20 years in economy, education, relations with neighbours and moral values. . What a con artist.

  7. Աստված է անգետների ու վօրբերի տերը , ամբողջ աշխարհը լռեց ,ու վախեցավ Թուրքիայից ու ոչինչ չձերնակեց , Թուրքիային ու Ադերբեջանին պատժելու համար ։Ու Աստված որոշեց ինքը պատժի 2-պետության ել ։

  8. Աստված որոշել է մեր պոխարեն մեր թշնամիների դեմ պատերազմի

  9. 👍🇦🇲👍🇦🇲👍🇦🇲👍🇦🇲👍🇦🇲👍🇦🇲👍🇦🇲👍🇦🇲👍🇦🇲👍

  10. Թուրքը մինչև հիմա Հայ ազգին նեղացնումա ,բայց Հայը եսօր գնացելա Թուրքիային օգնելու ։ Տեսեք մեք ենք մարդ թե դուք 😡👊😡👊,մարդ եղեք արաաաաա։ Վերադարձրեք մեր հողերը մեզ , վերադարձրեք մեր տները մեզ ,ու համ ու համերաշխ ապրեք մեր կողքին ,թչե Աստված ձեզ ու ձեր պետությունը կհավասարի հողին , խելքներդ գլուխներդ հավաքեք

  11. I have been steadily Praying ever since these earthquakes had occured.
    What is truly occurring in Turkey? There is a rumour that reads that we do not know what is truly occurring there,& that all that the world is seeing is not the total truth,that we should not believe ALL that we are seeing & being told.
    A person with (supposed) Turkish ethnicity has revealed some interesting words,or not if untrue,through a chat.
    These words read this way;

    I am a Turk. 3 provinces of my country were wiped from the map. Almost 100,000 people died. 7 provinces almost disappeared. What you see is 1% of the truth.
    I waited for more words to come through,even leaving a message in Turkish,yet no more communiation was received nor seen. This could have been someone going on a chat & then leaving just as quickly after leaving those words,words that do truly make one think…think about whether to dismiss it,or,to wait & see what is said about things in the next few days. If the number of people,human beings killed, does actually double, then it will be "over 50,000" dead from these earthquakes,the words read 100,000,the number speaks out,yet,earthquakes only,or,is there something more.

  12. Death toll fnf in real life?!?!?!

  13. That's what being Human being with love and compassion looks like, all the rescuers are so joyful when they find someone alive, they treat them as if it were own family, Amazing to see true humanitarian at work. Prayers to the people of Trukey 🙏

  14. Пусть Бог Благословит Всех
    Турецкий народ
    ( Содом и Гомора) какая то
    Раз и 5 минут сколько домов Нет…руины
    Пусть Бог Отец Благословит Всех Нас Аминь

  15. Plenty of people homeless and hungry in this world. Someone’s always expecting more

  16. Maybe too much death because of the poor building construction.

  17. @Mrbeast Go to Truckey and Syrica and make a Video Helping Them People I Love You Helping People and Watching The Videos You Helping People.

  18. When your government’s best is not good enough 😢

  19. My YouTube Channel Need To Hurry Up and Get To 1M Subscriber and so i can make million dollars to use it to buy things and deverily it to Truckey And Syria And Help People There To Go Back To Normal and Make Videos of Helping to use the money on the videos to help more.

  20. 🙏💞😞✌️ Prayers for All

  21. … let us not forget that obama/hillary triggered the arab springs in that region that caused the million refugee problem in syria and other countries !!!

  22. Syrians are getting crumbs poor people they have been suffering 60 years now still counting

  23. Truth be Told :
    An incredible amount of Global
    Leaders are either Incompetent
    or Tyrant's .
    Better decisions for the well-
    being of humanity are coming.
    🤔

  24. People are starving in some of the relief camps. Many survivors have not eaten for days. This is a humniarian crisis on a scale that we rarely see,

  25. let us not forget, turkey is already a decade into their $500B Urban Transformation Law (Law No 6306 “Transformation of areas under disaster risk"), which had a 20 year timeline to get all existing buildings retrofit, and ensure all new construction was up to the updated Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC-2010), introduced in 2010.

    many of the buildings that fell were built in the past few years, after 6306 took effect.

    turkey will once again legislate the blame away, and continue to take no action. something we'll continue to see around the globe in the coming years.

    idk if some of yall have seen the interior of some of the older buildings on the west coast that are allegedly 'retrofit for seizmic disasrer protection' …but many just aren't.

  26. Most of the Idlib and Afrin regions in the north-west of Syria were devastated by the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that took place on 6 February! Idlib, Afrin, Cindires are destroyed. Need urgent help!

  27. People don't get mad at the helpers, there doing all they can!

  28. Turkey government is useless.

  29. Thanks 🙏 to all rescuers 🥺😭!

  30. why would allah do this?

  31. Syrians treated badly by their own Govts from past to present, by bombing foreign powers ,by factional groups. ….now, by Natural Disaster. How mush can they take.Time for lots of blessings,healing,courage. May your bleeding wounds heal with Divine Help. The humanity stands with you in all solidarity.

  32. We all are same Human being, we feel joy and happiness, if we could do something good for others. Thank you 🙏🏻 to all the rescuers. Thank you for being there for the needy. You will be blessed.

  33. Biden gives his cronies in ukraine. Haitians and these people mean nothing to him.

  34. What is Assad doing to help.

  35. Yep, it’s headed our way fast & furious!! Blessings, grandma deb

  36. Do you think that these Syria 🇸🇾 and turkey were worse sinners than the other Syria 🇸🇾 and turkey because they suffered this way? in this earthquake. no I tell you no but unless you all repent you too will all perish.The world will punish if we do not repent God almight is angry with the wicked repent
