Angelina Jolie Calls for Donations to Earthquake Victims

After the horrific destruction left by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria that claimed thousands of lives, and at a time when hundreds of families are still under the rubble, Angelina Jolie called for donations for the victims of the quake that struck Hatay and the Turkish city of Kahramanmaraş on Monday, and some regions of Syria.

Jolie explained that she decided to donate to the Turkish Charitable Funds and Action, which is engaged in civil defense activities.

In a comment on a video that Angelina shared on Instagram of an employee carrying out search and rescue activities in northern Syria, crying out, "We need your help."

In addition to a group of pictures of the destruction and a picture of the father holding the hand of his daughter who died under the rubble, she said, "My heart goes out to the people of Syria and Turkey. It’s hard to grasp the unimaginable pain so many families are suffering at this time."

“I hope others consider giving too, so they can continue their lifesaving work,” Jolie added.
