The Turkish Embassy in Dublin has thanked the Irish people for generosity in the wake of a devastating earthquake hit Turkey and Syria, but says it can no longer accept some items.
Many kind-hearted Dubliners had earlier this week set up fundraisers to help the victims of the disaster, which happened last Sunday. The powerful quake of 7.8 magnitude on the Richter scale hit southern Turkey and northern Syria, which was then followed by a second 7.5 quake in Syria.
The death toll has now reached more than 25,000. Thousands of people were injured in the regions, as rescue workers continue to look for survivors.
