Collection points have been set up in Trafford Park and Middleton for clothes and sleeping bags, as Manchester rescue teams head tp the disaster zone
Mancunians are being urged to donate clothes, sleeping bags and other items as part of a huge relief effort to help Turkey as it struggles to cope with the devastating earthquake across Turkey and Syria which has so far claimed more than 5,000 lives.
The chairman of NWTC, Saddleworth businessman Kursat Uysal, 48, told the M.E.N: "The first I heard about this was on the news yesterday. Four of my colleagues were in a hotel in the centre of the earthquake. Unfortunately their hotel collapsed and we haven't heard any news about them. Anyone who wants to make donations can bring them to Senol & Senol Ltd/GOSS Outdoor at Unit C, Canalside North, John Gilbert Way in Trafford Park, M17 1UP .Items can be delivered between 9am and 4.30pm, with the deadline for any donations 4.30pm on Friday.
Another Manchester charity, Action for Humanity, has set up an appeal to send its own team to the disaster zone. It said on its website: "Our teams are mobilising on the ground in response to this disaster. With your support, we can ensure that life-saving aid reaches those in need."
