What to do when people lost all they had, them thank them they are stealing for their own survival it’s not looting, it’s their fight for surviving
Yup 👍
Yeah that is a common sense but those fools won’t understand
Fake adidas been stolen from the guy who was selling stolen brand name 😂😂😂.
Smart comment 🎉
@Yasin Öz
Erdogan: there were “shortcommings” in helping people
“Smart comment” comes from Moscow “YES MAN” Erdogan 🤦♂️

Allah will not do a shyt for Turkey and Syria,he just killed them, wake up and stop hallucinating.
People should be given aid supplies by getting their thumbs scanned.
As for the looters, you can’t do much about it can you?
its important they stop aid trucks and treatening people, we send aids there but not for looters who come from other cities by car just to loot!! mostly refugees i heard but i m sure there are other people too.. mostly i heard from reporters experience they re arabic speaker refugee or something
Stealing is haram according to Pedohamed
You hindoo fanatic?
My friend get out of here with your stupid Muslim preaching 👎
Loolllll
Erdogan should be brought to roads n deal with him like they did with Gadaffi
What do what u expect? People lost family and home spaces. People are just surviving. Except for blatant thieves, lowlife people who have stolen aid money or help? They will be held accountable. Still it denotes bad character from their own nation, to steal in these serious times why? Was corruption already, there to start with?
Nothing new to South Africa! They steal your teeth out of your mouth
That’s why send zero aid to them.
Come on man!!!”looters”??? These people are desparate, they need to get help any way they can to survive!! The selfish store owner should be giving stuff away
Some has been for desperate survival, I’ve watched other people steal TVs and electronic that they clearly don’t need for survival. Also dead people’s credit cards have been used in other cities.
I like his shoes.
Steal anything u want & survive…politicians steal ppls money bt nobody asks…ALLAH is with u stealers 💜
Dios permitió para acercarse más a el es la verdad y la vida eterna ❤😅😢
This is how Turkic invaders looted India…they took benefit of political or social breakdown of regime……
Their goverment is the first looter!!he has some.nerve to say that..when. There is no safety in the building they live at..!!these people payed with their money ..and their lives !!!
Be safe Natasha.
As an empathetic, feminine and liberal minded progressive, my heart goes out to all the bame and LGBT in the middle East affected by the earthquake. ♥️
You need professional help if all you care about is people that have the same mental illnesses as you.
cringe
Unfortunately that is true, there has been numerous cases where people were blocking rodes and were looting large amount of supplies. There has also been cases where people where still under the rubbels and despite that, those people were stolen from while being buried. Those people are criminals, blocking a series of cars filled with goods and looting consumer electronic shops etc is not for necessity!
I thought it only happens here in Africa,may the Goof God punish the lootere
And who said iam dying?
💔
They were stealing after shouting Allah hu Akbar.
Here comes the hindus as if they are better, you do worse much much worse on daily business you don’t need to have a cause like natural catastrophe to scam, steal etc. Go back to your phone scams deepraj 🤣
Lolllll
Allahu shoes,TV and cell phone.
After a week with no food, toilet paper, and very little water, YES I completely understand looting. Taking TV’s and cell phones and other items not necessary for survival I don’t agree with! What’s sad to me in addition to the situation is that in 1999 the Turkish government started “Earthquake relief” taxes. It was to have money and necessary supplies on hand for the next big earthquake. Where are those supplies? Where is that money? Why did it take close to a wees for the Turkish government to even get bottled water started going towards the people? It reminds me of Hurricane Katrina and how SLOW our government from local to federal worked to start rescue efforts and needed supplies to the people. Never should another country or countries get water to your citizens faster than you!!! Syria, the rebels and government shouldn’t be blaming each other, they’re BOTH to blame! If they’d agreed to stop the BS and focus on helping their own people TOGETHER not near as many needless deaths would have occurred! Help from outside wouldn’t have been quite as scared to go in, and they could have worked together for the good of the innocent ones! War makes me sick and angry! Syria must stop this, Russia must stop! We need to help each other and stop being controlled by the 7 deadly sins especially GREED!!
Why TRT world did report this those are Turkey govt news agency
Then the army should control the area until the things get better
*the looters were mostly not Turkish. People*
majority of the looters caught have been syrian refugees who were living in the earthquake zone
They are Turkeys with teeth.
this is not a simple Truck 1:22
It’s a german Unimog 435 by Mercedes, folks!
an all rounder that can handle any terrain!
It’s really sad that aid supplies are being looted. Please don’t do such things, let Turks and Syrians heal and get the aid. The world is helping them
Alllahhh is going on plane
What did the Turk say to the Syrian now we look just like you 😆
If people are desperate for blankets from the cold or food then I’m not sure I can blame them
Real people don’t usually sleep with shoes on so I’m sure every shoe found at home
I guess people are scum in turkey 🇹🇷 too. Disgusting looters.
I’m sure the looting will continue untill the promised help arrives,taxes have been collected for over 20 years, aftershocks will continue for the next m5+7 days but after that give the preliminary contracts to China/Japan & Germany so some prefabricated building can go up quickly for housing as the temperatures going to drop rapidly for the woman & Children, Unfortunately buildings that may not have been checked completely will have to be cleared bit time is essential,it’s cost the Turkish people dearly,let’s not let this natural event cost the rest of the World & dragging their/Our Heels WIll only incur a Greater Cost..
The thieves are foreign nationals, not Türkiye ppl.
I’m not sure that looting is the appropriate term for what these survivors are doing. Everything was destroyed, all focus has been on rescue operations. You can not eat a pair of shoes to survive, but with everything lost and the uncertainty of what’s to come I don’t think it’s a sin to grab something of value from the rubble in the hopes that it may buy you a meal later.
The government provides 3 meals a day starting from the 3rd. day because of the Roads were closed due to the Earthquake. 4 million Syrians live in that region. 4000 died from these earthquakes. Hatay is a border city and you can guess what is going on at that border. Most of them speak Turkish well and even have a passport but are still traitors. We still feel sorry for the Earthquake victims in Syria.
oops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They need the rooftop Koreans
If people don’t have food water or shelter and sleeping out in cold and starving with little to no assistance from government or elsewhere, can we really call it looting if they are trying to find food and things to eat? Or is it scavenging? I don’t agree with stealing from people’s property but when people are reduced to simply trying to survive, chaos ensues.
Do they need to play “enter sandman” for another country rescuer to go enter and rescue more young ones and older ones too.Başka bir ülke kurtarıcısının gidip daha fazla genci ve yaşlıyı kurtarması için “kumdan
¿Necesitan jugar a “enter sandman” para que otro rescatador del país entre y rescate a más jóvenes y mayores también?
They only take exspensive jewelry phone etc I hope they get jailed Syrian dog
I feel sad for all those who have suffered, and hope things get better. Erdogan needs to be removed, and Turkey needs to distance themselves from corrupt dictators like him and his people. Stay safe fellow humans ❤ Frank, Sweden 🇹🇷🇸🇪
Evil shows it ugly head after every disaster, either natural or man-made. It does happen all over the world.
The government cannot discriminate. Equally people have lost their every belongings, therefore the aids which come into the country should distributed to every individuals whom are effected by the earth quake. Specially the government has it responsible to look after their people. This can be the warning of God, therefore everybody should be honest to each, otherwise the consequences will be doubled the amount of the destruction, if the anger of God come into the people. And also the ransack should stopped immediately. This is an another disaster to the people whom are effected severely. Humanity aids come into the country in any form should go to all those are faced the destructive.
Only one Dump Truck and one Excavator shown to clear the rubbles.
Why is this criminal neglect?
They have hundreds of Bulldozers and Dump Trucks with army, government and contractors.
