From our special correspondent in Gaziantep – Nearly a week after the deadly earthquake in southern Turkey, foreign students Abdelaziz, Ahmed Ali, Yassir and Mustafa are helping survivors of the quake in the city of Gaziantep. They say they are happy to give back to the country that has given them so much, and that they have fallen in love with.
"It is my duty to help others in this ordeal," says Ahmed Ali, who did not even stop to think before reaching out to help his community in Gaziantep. After the earthquake hit Gaziantep on February 6, the 25-year-old Egyptian, who had just graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering, immediately set to work with his friends, who are also foreign students. Their goal? To help those in any way they could who have now lost everything.
