HOWEVER !!!!!! Awful earthquake news
« on: February 10, 2023, 02:47:06 PM »

I wonder what is happening to the children pulled from rubble in Turkey and Syria  :-\

I saw a picture of a small dog being cut out of the rubble where its foot was trapped, now being cared for by the relatives of those buried.  As well as a cat, in clean condition surprisingly, being pulled out - what happens to that :'(

Hopefully more will be found alive.  As long as they have access to a water source ......... it's the waiting. Not knowing.   :'( :-\

It’s absolutely heartbreaking CLKD. Can you imagine what these rescuers are coming across every time they start digging? It’s hard to imagine what their mental health will be like when it all comes to an end.
I’m never going to moan about our weather/conditions etc in the U.K. ever again. At least we won’t experience a natural disaster like that  :'(

We sometimes don't realise just how lucky we are in this country,all moaning about the rain etc. Those poor poor people,nowhere to go and they say the weather is going to be very cold in the next few days  :'(

It's the lack of water and the intense cold that is problematic. 

How can this country be on strike today !  Stand back and reconsider at least until the Autumn?

Yep. Hard to believe that people are still being pulled out alive after all this time 😲.  I see several rescue dogs from the U.K. are playing their part too. Heartwarming to see..

Hopefully all the dogs will have specially made bootees to prevent glass/metal cuts!   As long as people have access to water and a bit of air.  One should never give up hope!

Mexican rescue dog dies while saving lives in Turkey

In an emotional ceremony, the Mexican army honoured Proteo, a fallen rescue dog sent to Turkey to help save lives after the devastating earthquake.
