The cost of damage rises one month after the earthquake


Aftershocks from earthquakes in Syria and Turkey continue to level structures and instil anxietyin the survivors. Almost 50,000 people were murdered in the 7.8-magnitude earthquake one month ago. There are currently 1.5 million homeless people, and the cost of damage is rising.

Economists and government representatives in Turkiye estimate that the earthquake's damages will total more than $50 billion lira ($2.6 billion USD).

Both Syria and Turkey are home to national staff members of the Child Evangelism Fellowship. We only recently found a place to stay, one of their employees in Syria wrote. But, there is no food, it is below zero, and the kids are as cold as ice. We are providing spiritual care for the parents and 700 kids.

The same message is also sent by regional partners, according to Lydia Kaiser, a spokesman for CEF: "'Everyone needs cover, food, and the little ones need diapers. The kids can't eat and wet themselves because they are so hungry, exhausted, and scared. I have no idea how to protect my kids. I worry that they will freeze to death outside because it is currently below freezing. I'm scared the walls will collapse on us if we venture in, though.

Local Christians are spreading the consolation of Jesus in the face of tragedy. CEF works with local believers who understand the language, culture, and best ways to reach out to children and their families with the gospel.

Hope for Turkiye/Syria is an initiative put together by CEF workers around the world with the goal of distributing bags of hope.

Food, toys, school supplies, and CEF's "Do You Wonder Why?" booklet—which addresses queries children have in times of need and proclaims the Good News of Jesus Christ—are all included in Bags of Hope.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
