ISTANBUL
Turkey’s leading aid agency is seeking ways to prevent the mass culling of camels in drought-afflicted South Australia where the animals’ water consumption are threatening communities.
Vice Chairman of Istanbul-based Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH), Serkan Nergis, said his group would contact colleagues in Australia to try to find what could be done about the situation.
In case of a mass slaughter of camels, Nergis offered to use the meat for the benefit of consumers. “For example ... their meats could be distributed to the needy," he said on Twitter. "I hope we can get a result."
