A couple from the earthquake ravaged side of Turkey have launched an appeal for help from their customers and local community.
Oktay and Nalen Basceken, who live in Ellesmere are devastated by the disaster, which has claimed the lives of some of their family members and friends.
Oktay, who owns the Pizza The Mere takeaway, is doing all he can from Shropshire to get help from parts of Turkey untouched by the earthquake to his home area."My mother and my sister, who is a teacher, are now living with 18 people in a container. They escaped in their pyjamas with no belongings - they have nothing.
Oktay said that through his contacts in Turkey he was organising to get fuel out to his family for their generator so that they can have power and heating.
