Turkey and Syria Earthquake Disaster Relief(Emergency) · 17 February 2023

On Monday 6th February 2023, two earthquakes of 7.8 and 7.5 magnitudes struck South East Türkiye (Turkey) and North West Syria. Latest reports say more than 5,000 people have been confirmed dead so far, with the number rising by the hour.

Story

In war-torn North West Syria, a lack of infrastructure due to more than a decade of protracted conflict has left the affected population even more vulnerable. Millions of internally displaced Syrians are living in camps, and those hit hard by the crisis are entirely reliant on international aid to assist with this emergency. Communications are almost completely down, and health facilities are understaffed and under-resourced. The situation on the ground is dire. More than 14,000 people have been reported injured across the affected provinces in Türkiye, with many more trapped in the rubble following the terrifying collapse of infrastructure and almost 6,000 buildings. Ongoing rescue operations are taking place in a desperate bid to save lives. The earthquakes are the worst to hit the Turkish region in 19 years and in Syria, the worst in over a century. Freezing temperatures, shortages in fuel and electricity due to damaged infrastructure, limited supplies due to strained supply chai
