The earthquake hit Syria and Turkey in the early hours of Monday morning
A Naas barber is collecting essential items for the people that have been injured and displaced following the earthquake in Turkey/Syria on Monday.
Families in southern Turkey and Syria spent a second night in the freezing cold as rescuers raced to pull people from the rubble two days after a massive earthquake that killed more than 9,600 people.
Many in the disaster zone had slept their cars or in the streets under blankets, fearful of going back into buildings shaken by the 7.8 magnitude tremor .
This is Turkey's deadliest since earthquake 1999, and hit in the early hours of Monday.
Rescuers there and in neighbouring Syria warned that the death toll would keep rising as some survivors said help had yet to arrive.
Members of the public can make donations at 'Paddy The Turk Barber' in Naas.
