As long as IMKANDER brought problems of Caucasian Immigrants to light which was tried to be swept under the rug a great sensitivity started to arise on the subject in public opinion.
After CNNTurk broadcasted some news on Yalova refugee camp, many sensitive people calling Imkander caused our phones got out of service. Calling people mentioned that they just became aware of such inhuman treatment applied to immigrants; they thought that they were taken care well and they could not understand how those people arguing to be follow up of Ottoman could deem such attitude proper to those brothers under cover of themselves.
As soon as the subject come to the fore, foodstuff aids to Yalova Refugee camp increased in significant amount.

- At the same time “Fitre“ (a special form of Islamic alms-charity), “Zekât“ (a special form of Islamic tax) were distributed among camp habitants.
- Scholarships were delivered to the mothers of orphans for the months August.
- Some beneficent visiting the camp together with Imkander favored foodstuff and offered chocolates and toys to the children.
As Imkander requested foodstuff for Ramadan to the camp which falls within the boundaries of Yalova municipal officers mentioned that “The municipality had huge debts and they could not supply even A SINGLE PACKAGE OF MACARONI“.
