Ankara: The fans of Istanbul football club Beşiktaş did a commendable job during the football match on Sunday. Thousands of toys were dumped on the ground for children affected by the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey on 6 February. The message was that everyone stands united with the affected children in these difficult times.

In fact, the Turkish Super League match between Besiktas and Fraport TAV Antalyaspor was stopped after 4 minutes and 17 seconds to allow fans to throw gifts onto the pitch. The match may have been inconclusive, but this effort has won millions of hearts.

Louis Fishman, associate professor at Brooklyn College, tweeted the video, writing, “Watch this, and tell me you didn’t feel anything.” Football fans fill the ground with toys for children left homeless after the earthquake in Turkey. Such a beautiful and heartwarming scene of love. What a big heart of people in the world.

Thousands of fans in the stadium began throwing toys and scarves onto the field, which were shown to be picked up by the players and staff. Now these toys will be sent to the children affected by the earthquake. At least 44,374 people were killed in two powerful earthquakes that shook southern Turkey on February 6, a report said.

“Our fans threw scarves, warm hats and toys as gifts to cheer up the children in the earthquake zone,” said a statement from the Beşiktaş club. The death toll from the earthquake in Turkey and neighboring Syria has passed 50,000.
