Organised by GlobalGivingTwo powerful earthquakes struck Turkey and Syria on the same day, killing more than 4,000 people and injuring thousands more. Your donation to this Relief Fund will provide emergency relief and fuel long-term recovery efforts in Turkey and Syria.
The two earthquakes measured 7.8M and 7.5M in strength and are among the strongest to hit Turkey since 1999 and 1939. Thousands of people, including many refugees, are in need of shelter, food, and water in southern Turkey and northern Syria. Your donation to this fund will help meet those needs, as well as power the efforts of local nonprofits that can respond to the overlooked community needs and lead long-term recovery efforts.
All donations to this fund will support Turkey (officially known as the Republic of Turkiye) and Syria earthquake relief and recovery efforts. Initially, the fund helps first responders meet survivors' immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, medicine, and shelter. As needs evolve, we will prioritize longer-term recovery efforts run by local, vetted organizations in the impacted areas.
Your donation will be used to:
Provide food, clean water, and medicine to survivors
Provide shelter and temporary housing to people who lost their homes
Provide psycho-social and mental health support to survivors
Support economic relief efforts
Support long-term recovery efforts
And much, much more!
