Urging help for those affected by the disastrous earthquake the hit southern Turkey and Syria, prominent Muslim artist Maher Zain flew to epicenter of earthquakes in Kahramanmaras province to support survivors.

Zain visited Kahramanmaras province on Sunday and distributed food to survivors with the UK-based Salam Charity, Anadolu Agency reported.

“We are in #Kahramanmaras city center and the visible destruction here reminds one of a war zone subhanallah. This town is the epicenter of this massive earthquake. Hundreds of thousands of people left homeless. We must help in whatever way we can,” he said on Twitter.

Zain also showed his followers on Instagram the scale of the destruction at the epicenter of the twin earthquakes, saying; “It is very hard honestly. I am trying to get a perspective on the camera to show you how bad it is, but the camera can never give (one) hundred percent justice.”

Seeing images of devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck southeastern Turkey and Syria on February 6, several Muslim charities have launched appeals to help those affected on the ground.
