"That's why Operation Blessing shows up – to be a little drop in the ocean, but it's meaningful," said Diego Traverso, Operation Blessing's Disaster Relief Director. 

After 3 sizeable earthquakes, there is only one open road into Hatay, #Turkey. That means the journey for incoming supplies is slow and treacherous. #OBI's warehouse has turned into a distribution center to meet the need.https://t.co/0LOk2dLc9L#TurkeyEarthquake2023 #CBNNews

Diego knows how far financial support can go in these situations. He's operating out of a Hatay village, his team is feeding people and helping those suffering from post-traumatic stress. 

"We want to spend time, we want to invest in them, love them – that's why we are here," said Diego.
