                              Not even a booth to try it on.

Thousands of clothing items sent to the earthquake victims were left on
the side of the road by TIR (tractor trailer) drivers who didn't want to 
wait for AFAD (Turkish disaster-rescue organization) paperwork and 
formalities related to the deliveries. (!)

Clothing contributions from around Turkey were left along the Hatay-
Yayladağı road, forcing the victims to search through the piles for
clothes.  AFAD has been recording the deliveries and distributing them
in an orderly manner to the victims but some TIR drivers dumped their
loads along the road, rather than deal with AFAD's paperwork.

























Yayladağı is in extreme southern Hatay province.
