DONATE TO SAVE THE CHILDREN EMERGENCY FUND NOW

Dear OneWeb Family,

My home country Turkey and its neighbour Syria has been hit with a devastating earthquake of magnitude 7.8 on February 6th – it's the biggest of the region in the last century. Thankfully, my family is away from the earthquake zone, but millions are directly impacted.

The death toll is now more than 16,000, with 40,000 injured and counting.

Reports say only a few percent of the collapsed buildings have been accessed by aid workers so far and time is running out.

How can we help?

Relief items are needed for the survivors. Conditions for the survivors and relief workers are extreme, especially with the freezing weather conditions.

Background from Save the Children

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake has struck south-eastern Turkey, near the Syrian border. The region is experiencing significant aftershocks, including another 7.5 magnitude earthquake that has hit close to the last one.

Reports estimate that thousands and thousands of people have lost their lives already. Thousands of children were forced out of their homes into the freezing night, without shelter.

Our teams are working hand-in-hand with partner organisations across northwest Syria and Turkey to assess what children and their families need, so we can deliver emergency relief.

But we urgently need your help.

THE EMERGENCY FUND IS TRULY THE BEST AND MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO HELP CHILDREN IN CRISIS.

This special reserve of money allows us to reach children as quickly as possible in devastating emergencies, and means we are already racing to assess the needs of children in Turkey and Syria.
