No matter what people think, it is necessary for everyone to help the victims of the earthquake in Van.

An earthquake is shaking of the ground caused by movement of the Earth's crust.In much of the world, earthquakes are common disasters.A month ago, an earthquake which was of 7.2 magnitude, hit Van,Turkey.Many people living there were influenced.Some aid teams immediately moved to help the victims while some others did not.Also, some other people said that Turkish people should not help the victims living in Van.This issue is a very controversial one and has attracted a lot of debate.No matter what people think, it is necessary for everyone to help the victims of the earthquake in Van.

The first reason to help people in Van is that it is wrong to turn a blind eye to a disaster.After the earthquake, many homes,dormitories and schools unfortunately collapsed.Moreover, the air conditions were not good.Soon after the earthquake, it started to snow and the weather got freezing cold.Yet, people were not able to protect themselves from cold mainly because they were living in tents.

The second reason to help the earthquake victims in Van is to show that there is no racism among people in Van.Many people know that there are two communities living there which are Turkish and Kurdish.These communities have always lived together there.They dealt with enemies.For instance, they fought together at Kurtulus War.Taking this into consideration, people have to help Kurdish people and accept them as equal citicens.

On the other hand,the opponents of the idea of helping people in Van, claim that these people do not engrave this help as they are against Turkish people and republic.Also, they throws stones to Turkish forces.However, they seem to forget that a conscientious person always assists people who are in need of help.In addition to this, Hz.Muhammed the prophet, said that ''If someone throws a stone at you, you should throw back a rose.'' emphasizing the importance of patience and tolerance.

In conclusion, although some people say that helping people who live in Van is unnecessary, the majority claim the opposite.One person should always help victims no matter where they live.
