Emergency Appeal: Earthquake Impact on Turkey and Syria
The recent earthquake has left a profound impact, particularly in the southern regions of Turkey, where a substantial number of Syrian refugees have sought refuge. Turkey, as a nation, currently shelters over 3.7 million Syrian refugees.
The need for emergency support is critical as the region grapples with what could be the most significant disaster since 1939.
Health Facilities Struggling
Health facilities, including hospitals, many of which are now damaged, are overwhelmed and struggling to cope with the high volume of patients in need of emergency medical aid.
Beyond The Border – Syria
The earthquake has severely affected parts of Syria that were already devastated by 12 years of war and are home to hundreds of thousands of displaced refugees.
It is estimated that more than 810 people have lost their lives in Syria, with thousands injured and many more unaccounted for. The number of casualties and fatalities is expected to rise dramatically.
Already struggling to ensure their survival with limited access to necessities such as food, water, shelter, and medical care, these individuals are sadly among those most affected by the disaster.
Winter Challenges
With winter at its peak and uncertain weather approaching, countless families in crisis will struggle to survive.
