Copreci Turkey has improvised a logistics center at its plant, located near Istanbul, to send coal, warm clothes and food to the areas most affected by the quake.

Tayfun Ucar, Copreci's plant manager, is in charge of the improvised operation, trying to manage the complicated logistics of getting aid to the affected areas. He himself has told us that they are receiving material, such as blankets, warm clothes, coal or food, which they are packing and sending to the affected areas, in a task that is not easy because of the chaos in which the country is plunged after the tragedy.

"This is the most important thing, that the aid reaches where it needs to reach, and especially the small villages". Tayfun also told us about the difficulties they are having to manage the situation because, in addition to working against the clock to try to rescue people from the rubble, the intense cold "of even -15 degrees" and the snowfalls are making rescue operations even more difficult.

It should be noted that more than 72 hours have already passed since the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, and the death toll has already exceeded 17,000.
