ROME (AA) - Turkish students in Italy held gatherings Sunday to express their support for Türkiye over this month’s devastating earthquakes.

Gathering outside Milan Cathedral, the students, carrying Turkish flags, observed a minute of silence for the quake victims.

Later, the group, organized by the Turkish Students' Association in Milan, distributed leaflets in both Italian and English to raise awareness on fundraising campaigns over the twin earthquakes that hit southern Türkiye.

Meanwhile, another group of Turkish students held a gathering in Turin. The group, carrying Turkish flags and banners, called on Italian people to show support and solidarity with Türkiye.

At least 41,020 people have been killed by two strong earthquakes that jolted southern Türkiye on Feb. 6, the country’s disaster management agency said Sunday.
