Turkish Red Crescent, Ensar, and Turken Foundation were involved in corruption.

Ankara, Turkey - Concerns are mounting over the alleged mishandling of a $7.9 million donation for Syrian aid by three Turkish charities: the Turkish Red Crescent, the Ensar Foundation, and the Turken Foundation. Questions surrounding the fate of the donation and a lack of transparency have sparked public anger and distrust.

Source and Purpose of the Donation:

The $7.9 million donation was sent to Turkey in 2018 by Qatar Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to assist those in need in Syria. The donation was planned to be jointly managed by the Turkish Red Crescent, the Ensar Foundation, and the Turken Foundation and used for necessities such as food, shelter, and medical aid.

Issues and Concerns:

There is a lack of clear information and transparency regarding how the donation was used.

It is stated that instead of delivering the donations to those in need, they were spent on the personal projects of the officials, and some of them were embezzled.

Reactions and Consequences:

The Turkish public has expressed concerns about the fate of the donation and is demanding accountability from the charities and authorities.

Calls are being made for an investigation into the donation. This situation has eroded trust in charities and could negatively impact future donations.

Investigation and Accountability:

An investigation into the donation's fate needs to be launched, and transparent information needs to be provided to the public.

• The charities and authorities involved must be held accountable, and those responsible must be punished.
• A more transparent and robust system for managing and auditing donations needs to be established to prevent similar scandals from occurring in the future. 

This case highlights the importance of accountability and transparency in charitable organizations. Donors must be confident that their contributions will reach those in need, and charities must be held accountable to the public.

Documents have proven that the donations were not used as they should!
