The 7.8 magnitude earthquake – one of the strongest to hit Turkey in the last century – killed thousands and injured countless others. N.J.'s Turkish community has come together to help relatives and friends back home. Here's how you can help, too.
Turkey native and Nutley resident Tacettin Arici, 31, has many relatives "back home," who were affected by Monday's 7.8-magnitude earthquake. "So many of the people I know and love, family, friends, are still underneath the rubble," he said. "We have to try to help in any way we can."Most of Nutley resident Tacettin Arici’s family lives in Turkey, his homeland. And the same is true for his wife, who’s also Turkish.
He spoke with her on the phone and says he was even able to video chat with her and a few other relatives for a couple of minutes. “Thankfully, she and my nieces and nephews are OK and my mom and dad, my parents who are in their 70s, were able to make it out of their building OK, too,” said Arici, 31.
A 7.8-magnitude earthquake – one of the deadliest to hit the region in a century – rocked Turkey and Syria on Monday. Nutley resident Tacettin Arici, 31, whose family lives in Kahramanmaras, a city in southeastern Turkey that was hard-hit by the earthquake, says since it hit, his relatives have been "shocked and deeply saddened by the all the death and destruction" they've seen.
