Over 200,000 people were displaced and over 100,000 badly injured in the incident apart from over 70,000 lives lost in the disaster.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of such groups is the LONDON ALEVI CULTURAL CENTRE and CEMEVI both working with other organisations to provide money and relief items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is through these acknowledged organizations that the SCOAN’S Emmanuel TV Partners Relief/ Charity donated ten thousand pounds to help in resettling displaced people and giving them a new lease of life.

“God is love, we are His image and we must live and lead in love”, she said adding:

 

 

 

 

“Every kindness you heartily show at this period of their needs illustrates clearly the place of love in human affairs as a tool of human relationships and good neighborliness”.
