When massive earthquakes hit Syria and Türkiye in February, millions were affected. Many in the region have already lost so much due to the war in Syria, and the regions hit hardest by the earthquake host millions displaced by the conflict.

Thanks to your quick response, our local partners were able to respond immediately, delivering emergency supplies including medical care, food, mattresses, blankets, heaters, and hygiene kits. They also provided life-saving shelter to those who were displaced from their homes.

Now, your support means ongoing help for families who do not have a home to return to.

With your support, we’re working to rehabilitate homes and other vital infrastructure. You’re also providing psychosocial support such as trauma care, and employment support.

Engineering teams are assessing buildings to determine which can be repaired, and education teams are making sure children affected by the earthquake do not miss out on their studies.
