Priscilla Okyere, striker of the Black Queens has appealed to the Ghana Embassy in Turkey to help evacuate them from the city of Hataya in Turkey as a matter of urgency.
Priscilla Okyere who plies her trade for Onvo Hatayspor is in the same city with Christian Atsu who has finally been pulled out of the rubble after a 7.7 magnitude earthquake hits south-central Turkey.
She also said that despite not being harmed by the earthquake, she believes that she and her mates would be safe if only they are evacuated from the city which most of its parts are destroyed.
“By the grace of God, we haven’t been hurt but we are not safe because we are still in the city and we are trying to find any means possible to get out of the city.
“We are in Antakya-Hatay and there have been some announcements on the incident but we are still waiting for a rescue team to evacuate us because our club officials live in a different city,” she told Happy FM monitored by GhanaWeb Sports.
She added that there hasn’t been any response from the Embassy and all measures to locate them was in vain.
“We have a few foodstuffs and we are managing. We are three Ghanaian players in this city including Christian Atsu. We have no way of reaching the Embassy and they are not allowing any car to come into the city but we will keep trying to reach them when we leave the city. We have also tried to contact the Embassy through a third party but no response yet,” she added.
