Kushimoto Town, Wakayama Prefecture has built a friendly relationship with Turkey for many years, triggered by the fact that many crew members were rescued by local residents when a Turkish warship was in distress 133 years ago.
In response to the recent earthquake in Turkey, Kushimoto Town started collecting donations from the morning of the 7th to support the affected areas.
A donation box was set up at the Kushimoto Town Hall, and people who visited immediately donated money.
A man in his 70s said, "Kushimoto Town has a deep relationship with Turkey, so I donated even a small amount. I'm worried about the pain I felt when I read the news report. I think it will take time, but I hope that the city will be restored as soon as possible." I want to."
Tatsuki Araya from the General Affairs Division of Kushimoto Town said, "We continue to help each other, so many people have been affected by this earthquake, but I hope we can be of some help."
In Kushimoto Town, donation boxes have been set up at four locations in the town, including the town hall, and the collected donations will be sent to the Turkish Embassy in Japan.
