Saying that she went to Hatay first and then came to Kahramanmaraş, Judd wrote on Instagram: "I am with @UNFPA at informal tent settlements where Turkish folks and Syrian refugees live, displaced by the apocalyptic earthquakes of spring 2023. They hit 145,000 square miles and directly affected 9 million people…The families I have met are lit from within by a clear connection and belonging with each other in spite of profound trauma and loss."
