Turkish Red Crescent officials told Anadolu Agency that the group gave help to fire victims in every corner of Turkey with its volunteers.
Following the wildfires that broke out in many provinces, nearly 10,500 volunteers are working day and night to support fires victims.
At the front line to support the fire victims, volunteer doctors, veterinarians, cooks, logistics managers, housewives, and teachers continue their work at 160 different sites.
Volunteers give those who are in urgent need a helping hand. While doctors take care of people affected by smoke, veterinarians rush to aid animals injured by the fires.
The groups’ volunteer chefs also cook for people in regions hit by wildfires, and volunteer psychologists provide support to both families and children.
Ali Sinan Kerimol, 72, said he has been helping relief efforts for more than a week.
“I’m very proud of my work, everyone should do it,” he said in a video the Red Crescent posted online
Doing the same tasks and sharing the same spirit and excitement as young people gives him renewed energy, he added.
