It is hard to think clearly when such a powerful earthquake has hit your own homeland. 7.8 magnitude is huge Cannot imagine and I am so deeply sorry #LoveTurkiye

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed over 1,500 people in Turkey and Syria, with hundreds still believed to be trapped under rubble. The quake and a second 7.5 earthquake hit areas where hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees live. Rain and cold are hampering rescue efforts.

I am so happy for the Ukrainians arriving to NL - welcome! I am not happy that this event was made a publicity stunt. I am also not happy that the same of care has not been shown to any other country's citizens fleeing war, oppression, or serious conflicts. Name this.
