SAT-7 TÜRK Team Heads to Disaster Area

The team coordinated interviews with churches and Christian citizens as well as aid organizations active in the area and collected both documentary footage and stories. Our General Manager, Melih Ekener, who traveled with the team, emphasized the importance of recording and documenting what is happening now.

However, while they were having a lunch break in Adana on Monday, another earthquake struck. “Earthquakes happen without any warning, so we couldn’t run or do anything else, and so we felt emotional distress. Now we can put ourselves in the shoes of those who experienced what happened,” said Melih. So, the team decided to travel back to Istanbul.
