I am trying to get information on Turan Kutlu. Age 47 He lived on Moto Sim Sok Street in Istanbul. I am concerned about his safety since the earthquake. If anyone has any information regarding him please let me know.
Thank You, Betty

A earthquake, measuring 5.2 magnitude, struck close to the seaside town of Marmaris shortly before four a.m. (0100 GMT).

I wish you all the best. I'll pray for you. I hope no one lost a friend or a family member (though I'm sure you all did, no offense).

My husband and I pastor a small church in Lexington Park, Maryland. We have collected donations of material goods such as clothing, tents, blankets, and winter coats for the people in Turkey who were left homeless by the August earthquake. I had found the Turkish Embassy on the internet who had recommended a shipper in New Jersey offering free shipping. I contacted the shipper and discovered they are no longer shipping for free (it's too costly).

Could you please offer assistance in offering suggestions of how I can get material goods shipped to Turkey at little or no cost? We have collected 8 to 10 large boxes of materials, but as a small church cannot afford the shipping. Please help.

Sincerely,

Darlene Winans

I have no idea of what exactly this quakes are propelling on someone's mind after suffering few seconds of disaster .. I couldn't feel any except the sadness of deaths and injuries .. I d like to share that fear with you ..
special thanks for those who did all they could give .. hepimize geçmiþ olsun (god saved us in turkish)

I am looking for Osman Erturk. (His nickname is "Shakir"..I am not sure if I spelled that correctly.) He works for Diana Travel as a driver. I met him last year when I was in Istanbul. I am wanting to make contact to see that he and his family are okay. I do not speak Turkish and so I am at a disadvantage. If you know him, please tell him to contact me through email and I will help anyway I can. Heartfelt thanks. Sandi Webb email: @aol.com">TnhrHrt100@aol.com

Can anyone tell us if there is a web site with English translation of those who died in the earthquake

Everything will be better...
Because we have lots of friendly state...
Don't forget this: "a friend in need is a friend indeed"
Lots of thanks from Turkiye...

There is a web page with database of "Persons of Known Status" and "Missing Persons" in the earthquake, where you can search for someone. However, the information is limited because perhaps no one institution posess the complete list you need. I hope the web page indicated below will help you:
