Syria & Turkey Earthquake Emergency

The death toll from the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has risen to a staggering 12,000 people. The situation is particularly dire in Syria, where nearly 3,000 individuals have lost their lives and an equal number have been injured. The country, already suffering from 13 years of war, is also facing the added hardship of harsh winter weather conditions. In Turkey, the death toll has surpassed 9,000.

THE RESPONSE

In response, WF-AID has activated its networks on the ground to assess incoming information and resources required to assist those in need in the most efficient way. Our teams on the ground are working tirelessly to provide vital information and ensure that aid reaches those who need it the most. We are working with reputable agencies on the ground, including the Iraqi Red Crescent Society, with whom WF-AID has a long-standing working relationship.

THE FOCUS

In this emergency situation, our immediate focus is to provide food, shelter, and medicine to those affected. At a later phase, rehabilitating the victims would be assessed.

THE RELIEF

Our ground partners have already delivered 6 shipments of emergency food packets, medical equipment, tents, kitchen sets and first aid kits.

We will keep you informed of our progress and the impact of your generosity. Thank you for your support in this time of need.
