Following the devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria, multiple nations and organizations have pledged to provide assistance in the form of rescue personnel, emergency supplies, and other necessary resources. The earthquake, which struck in early 2023, caused significant damage to the affected areas, leaving many people in dire need of help.
One of the individuals who has stepped up to help in the wake of the disaster is Nusr-et Gokce, also known as ‘Salt Bae.’ Gokce is a renowned celebrity chef from the Turkish province of Pasali, and he has taken it upon himself to support his fellow countrymen during this difficult time.
Gokce has promised to provide food for at least 5,000 earthquake victims each day by dispatching a mobile kitchen to the affected area. The mobile kitchen will serve hot, nutritious meals to those affected by the earthquake, helping to alleviate some of the difficulties they are facing. In one of his Instagram videos, viewers can see the mobile kitchen, with Gokce’s name prominently displayed on the side, packing up and leaving a warehouse where it was being stored.
For Gokce, this food aid effort is his “most important and meaningful service in the world.” As a prominent figure in the world of cuisine, he recognizes the power that food has to bring people together and to provide comfort during difficult times. By providing hot meals to earthquake victims, Gokce hopes to bring a small measure of relief to those who have been affected by this tragedy.
He wrote ‘We started serving hot food to more people, targeting 5,000 people daily.”
In summary, Gokce’s food aid effort is just one of many initiatives that have been launched in response to the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Together, these efforts represent a collective desire to help those in need and to provide support during a time of great difficulty.
