Kahramanmaraş has a a large population of refugees, there were more than 17,000 at one refugee centre. These people were living on the knife edge every day, I cannot imagine what this catastrophe will do to them...

For all of the current regime's considerable flaws, Turkey hosts the most refugees in the world, at last count they had 3.7 million such people. That level of generosity should be commended, and I'm happy to see so many nations and individuals racing to help however they can.

But neither Syria nor Turkey is in a position to absorb this catastrophe - nearly one in five people in Turkey were malnourished prior to this event, for example.

If you are able, please consider donating to the International Rescue Committee or a similar charity.
