Organised by Loughborough Students RagThe Loughborough Community has come together to collect donations for the people of Turkey and Syria after the devastating earthquake that has wiped out entire sections of major cities. Please donate generously to help save lives.
More than 35,000 people are reported to have been killed and thousands more injured after powerful 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude quakes hit both Turkey and Syria on Monday 6th February 2023. The earthquakes are estimated to have directly impacted 23 million people.
The LSU community of student and staff are asking for donations and supplies to help those affected. The Students Union will have bins downstairs and upstairs in the Student Hub for any supplies you can donate.
Donations will be sent to the British Red Cross Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal. Emergency responders from both the Turkish Red Crescent and Syrian Red Crescent are on the ground providing urgent humanitarian relief and supporting rescue efforts. This appeal will provide vital funds to help the ongoing rescue efforts and immediate relief, as well as longer term aid for those affected.
Thank you.
