Turkish Red Crescent brings 25 Turks to Turkey from Japan
ISTANBUL (A.A) - 21.03.2011 - Turkish aid organization, Kizilay (Red Crescent), brought 25 Turks to Turkey from Japan hit by a massive earthquake on March 11.
Bayram Emir, director of Marmara Region Natural Disaster Management of Turkish Red Crescent, who welcomed 25 Turks including students at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, said that Red Crescent covered all expenses of Turkish people. "We are glad to bring them back to Turkey," he said.
Emir said that they would keep bringing Turkish citizens to Turkey from Japan.
A magnitude-8.9 earthquake struck off the coast of northern Japan on March 11, one of the strongest to ever hit Japan. The massive quake has triggered tsunamis not only in Japan, but around the Pacific Basin. Officials think death toll will exceed 10,000 in Japan. Meanwhile, radiation spread from the four stricken reactors of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant along Japan's northeastern coast.
