An anonymous donor contributed a stunning $30 million to the victims of two powerful earthquakes that have devastated Turkey and Syria, leaving more than a million displaced and tens of thousands dead.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif revealed Saturday the donor walked into the Turkish embassy in the United States to make the hefty donation as the death toll from the quakes has exceeded 33,000.

“Deeply moved by the example of an anonymous Pakistani who walked into Turkish embassy in the US & donated $30 million for earthquake victims in Turkey & Syria,” Sharif stated.

The $30 million donation comes as the Pakistan government put together a committee to collect money and supplies for earthquake victims, Anadolu Agency reported. The state-run Turkish outlet reported the funds and items would be sent to the two countries in a timely matter.

Nice idea, but most of it will disappear without a trace.

If it were cash, he could have had it confiscated by local authorities as he departed his car.

I thot he would do more good just renting a helicopter and going to the earthquake zone and tossing the money out the open door.

“anonymous Pakistani who walked into Turkish embassy in the US & donated $30 million”

Pretty sketchy.

I wonder just how much of it will actually reach the actual victims?

Okay, how many Pakis in DC have 30mm to donate? If it’s one of my own Pakistani clients, I’m raising my prices!
