Southern Turkey is currently engulfed in devastating forest fires.
Since last Wednesday, the hells on the Aegean coast have grown, with many locals evacuated from their homes and tourists evacuated from their hotels.
According to Sky News, the fires are among the worst the country has seen in a decade, and many say it is the most devastating devastation Turkey has seen since the 1940s.
Since last week’s outbreak, 112 forest fires have been reported in southwestern Turkey with a total of eight deaths and many more injured.
Many high-profile Turkish celebrities, such as Sen Cal Kapimi (You knock on my door), stars Hande Erçel and Kerem Bürsin, have made heartfelt requests for help from Turkey around the world.
Hande, 27, made an urgent call for help on Instagram, sharing a heartbreaking photo of the hells stretching across southwestern Turkey.
“I’m calling on all the countries that can help us,” he said. “We are dead and devastated by the 112 total fires. Those we can’t stop continue to do so hard.
“We don’t have enough firefighting planes to stop it. We lost 8 people, so many animals and our forests. “
Hande co-star Kerem, meanwhile, used Twitter to share a similar message, raising awareness among the international community to help Turkey.
