Aid truck looted in Van during live broadcast

A truck en route to Van city center was stopped and looted during a live broadcast on CNNTürk.

Looters carried items donated by volunteers from around Turkey to their cars and trucks. The video was later broadcasted on daily Hürriyet´s website.

Some women and children were also seen taking supplies from the aid truck, in noticeably smaller quantities when compared to those who filled their vehicles with looted items.
