EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY: DISTRIBUTED FOOD IN ALEPPO AND FIRST RESCUE ACTIVITIES IN TURKEY AND SYRIA

After a first delivery of 450 kg of pet food in Syria, thanks to our precious contact and the immense work of local volunteers, an additional 450 kg was distributed in Aleppo and surronding areas to affected animals wandering around lost, frightened, hungry and wounded. The only relief for them comes from a caress, a friendly word and a bowl full of food. While feeding homeless animals, volunteers heard crying and, pulling out debris, they found five cats, two dogs and an abandoned rabbit to be rescued. All animals were taken to the only veterinary clinic open in town, where they had been examined and got treated. OIPA beared the cost of veterinary care and therapies.
In Turkey, waiting for the distribution of 3 tons of food to stray and homeless animals looked after by volunteers in quake-affected areas, with the accurate coordination of our local delegation; OIPA International gave support for some rescue activities in Kahramanmaraş to the association Pader renting a crane for a day in order to save animals left trapped in flats of evacuated buildings.

During the emergency, no life is left behind. Thanks to the fundraising campaign “Earthquake Emergency” and the big hearts of people around the world who are donating, we can continue to help animals in need 👉 https://www.oipa.org/international/earthquake-emergency-food-in-aleppo-first-rescue-activities/
