Earthquake Emergency Appeal
2 major earthquakes of magnitude 7.8 and 7.4 struck central Türkiye and northwest Syria. Thousands have been killed and millions are in need of humanitarian assistance. Islamic Relief teams are responding on the ground now.

Story

Thousands of people have been killed, over 13 Million have been affected and so many more are still missing after two powerful earthquakes struck Turkey and Syria within the space of 12 hours. The death toll is expected to rise, with desperate search and rescue operations underway across the region as many buildings have collapsed; there are thought to be many people trapped in the rubble. Islamic Relief teams are responding on the ground now.

With Turkey being a ‘home away from home’ for us here at Eidparty, we are truly saddened for our Muslim brothers and sisters. We too have experienced the frightening devastation where previous earthquakes have destroyed homes of direct family members leaving an unimaginable impact.

We see it as our duty to help our Muslim brothers and sisters during their hour of need; we humbly reach out to you, our Eidparty family to help support the people in Turkey, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon during this emergency.

As time is of the essence, we have partnered with Islamic Relief who are already on the ground engaged in the rescue and relief efforts and are working directly with the Turkish Government.

- £50 donation can provide a family in an emergency with food.

- £80 donation can provide a cash grant for a single family to purchase essentials in an emergency.

- £168 can provide two families with emergency shelter.

Even if you are unable to donate, please kindly help us by sharing the details of this fundraiser with your families and friends, and most importantly keeping all those affected by this tragedy in your prayers.
