In a translated video, the Turkish chef is seen crying while asking for help from those who can.
“Please. Anyone who is able to, please help. Many are still trapped under the wreckages.”
Burak also many are unable to respond to the messages that they receive, and the only thing they can do for now is to share about the current state of the disaster to the world.
As for Burak himself, he is also participating in the mission to help, and he’s doing so by distributing food to the surviving victims, which you can see in one of his recent Tik Tok videos where Burak loads the supply onto a huge truck.
“The rarest tears in the world”
Burak’s TikTok video has gained much attention around the world, and many fans have expressed their sadness as they were shocked to see Burak crying.
“We’ve been seeing him smiling all these while but this time, it makes us cry to see him crying.”
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recently reported the survivors of the earthquake in Syria and Turkey may face the threat of a “secondary disaster” if aid does not reach them anytime soon. In the meantime, the rescue work continues, despite the subzero temperatures and over 200 aftershocks.
