Shadow Foreign Minister Simon Birmingham says there is an 'enormous human tragedy' unfolding in Turkey and Syria after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the region on Monday. At least 3,500 are confirmed dead with officials warning the death toll is set to rise. 'What we are seeing from these earthquakes that have struck these regions is an enormous loss of life, a huge destruction of building(s) and of infrastructure,' Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia.

Basic supplies? But when a Zionist rat like zalinsky wants aid against russia we send 100,000,000 dollars and over 100,000,000 millions dollars worth of military missiles and vehicles. What a bunch of rats.

This loss of life is part of the WEF and UN population control by forcing people into more dense housing apartment buildings built to very low standards. Klaus Martin Schwab has blood on his hands, again!

I am sorry for the Turkish people but I got to say that there is nothing humane to be expected from Australian authorities. I have been stuck in Italy since when they decided to shut down all the flights going to Australia. Now that I am asking for 10000 dollars for the first time ever from my superannuation to travel back to Australia, I have been told: Sorry we can't help you.

The Turks got plenty of money and resources to attack the Greek nation. Those Muslim Turkish war mongers don't deserve any help.
