Where do you get 10,000 homeless in Istanbul from? It's only a guess of 10,000+ that someone made.
Why is Turkey never mentioned on any of these lists? Apparently the Turkish Government does not even keep records of these things.
Being homeless in İstanbul: 'Death would be salvation' - I dare you to read that.
Homelessness in Turkey
- 10,000+ are homeless in Istanbul alone (40% are women)
- state institutions, business people and celebs seem to not want to help
- Thousands of homeless people across Turkey face danger of freezing to death due to the low temperatures[/b]
- In 2008, 30,000-50,000 kids lived on the streets in Turkey. The issue with this is the lack of education children receive due to their housing situation leads to crimes and child labor (see the video and note the amount of children working as vendors)
Istanbul Essentials: Getting By, Emily Troutman
In a city of nearly 20 million, folks do whatever they can to get by in the streets.[/list]
All we have is a guess of "10,000+ homeless in Istanbul alone" and "30,000-50,000 kids lived on the streets in Turkey".
Then "Thousands of homeless people across Turkey
face danger of freezing to death due to the low temperatures[/b]".
Many in Australia are "homeless" rather than bothering to get a job and nobody freezes to death here.
Now, Mr Wise, stop this stupid comparison of countries that gets you nowhere.
Just admit the those QANTAS flights QF 27 and QF28 really do fly non-stop and nearly full on the route Sydney to and from Santiago, Chile.
No amount of lies and distractions from you can prove otherwise so just face the facts for once in your life!
