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.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
