Collection points for donations to help people affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria have been set up across Scotland.
Volunteers are accepting clothing, power banks, heaters, blankets, hygiene equipment, diapers, sanitary pads and a range of other items in good condition.
They have been started by the Association of Turkish Alumni and Students in Scotland.
Rania Mohiuddin from group said: As we fight against time to save as many lives as possible, the smallest amount of help can go a very long way.
