Two consecutive earthquakes and a series of aftershocks hit Turkey and Syria on Feb 6, 2023. 50,000 people died, 107,204 people gotten injured and 11 cities perished - around 227,027 buildings collapsed.

Once again, we let contractors, who don’t obtain a decent education or knowledge on how to build any type of earthquake-proof buildings, do their own thing. We let people, who value financial gain more than people’s lives, do their own thing.

We learned nothing from the past.

With the collaboration of Ayman El-Fouly - a senior engineering consultant from the United States, we created a social media campaign to bring awareness to this situation. We need to educate our children better so that they won’t do the mistakes that we see today. Please share to help with the cause.
