Shruti Chauhan

Available for over a year

A Leicester woman has travelled to Turkey to help people affected by the devastating earthquake that hit the country in February. Sara Rashid went to Elbistan to help cook huge meals for some 2,500 people who were displaced by the disaster. More than 50,000 people were killed when the earthquake rocked Turkey and northern Syria, and a further 1.5m were left homeless. Sara travelled with a team from the charity 'Mercy to Humanity'. Sara tells reporter Conor O'Grady that she wanted to help people who were struggling through Ramadan.
