A call for help went out Tuesday from the head of a Helena-based nonprofit urging people to support rescue efforts for the victims of the Syrian-Turkey earthquake. Hands On Globa, which provides basic health care in remote underserved areas and refugee camps, says to donate, visit whitehelmets.org. The White Helmets focus on medical evacuation, urban search and rescue and removing people from danger areas. People can also make donations through unicefusa.org.. Monday’s magnitude 7.8 quake and a series of strong aftershocks toppled thousands of buildings in Syria and neighboring Turkey, and left a still rising death toll in the thousands.
