An example of incredible help took place in Moabit on Monday evening, thousands of Berlin Turks collected tons of relief supplies for the earthquake victims in Turkey within a few hours.

A central starting point was Turmstrasse in Moabit. Traffic was just kept going. The relief supplies (warm winter clothes) were brought from here to BER Airport and flown from there to Turkey with Turkish Airlines.

Those who do not want to bring relief supplies to Turmstraße should also avoid the area late in the evening and at night.

There will also be a place to help on Tuesday: at Quickborner Straße 48-50 (Reinickendorf), volunteers will sort relief supplies from 10 a.m
