Emergency Earthquake Appeal

Residents of Turkey and northern Syria were abruptly awoken by a strong earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale. The quake caused buildings to collapse and those who managed to evacuate faced harsh cold temperatures outside. A second earthquake, measuring 7.6, struck later in the day, causing further damage to weakened structures and splitting roads apart.

According to latest reports, a combined total of more than 21,000 people have already been confirmed dead across both Turkey and Syria, with the number rising by the hour. Time is of the essence for those impacted by the earthquake. International aid is essential to reach and save as many lives as possible.
