Thousands of people have died as a result of devastating earthquakes in Turkiye and Syria. Millions of people are left homeless and exposed to the freezing cold, and the most pressing needs are emergency shelters, hot meals, and basic relief.
Two powerful earthquakes struck Turkiye and northwest Syria, leaving thousands of people dead and injured.
The earthquake of magnitude 7.8 was a major shock, destroying entire apartment buildings and adding to the already dire situation of millions of Syrians displaced by war.
Our teams are on the ground in both south-eastern Türkiye and north-western Syria to help meet their immediate needs. In Syria, we will focus on delivering emergency shelter goods like blankets and tents to families who have lost everything in the earthquake, as well as establishing medical camps to provide free medicines and health facilities.
In addition to immediate response efforts, long-term rebuilding efforts are underway to help affected communities recover and get back on their feet.
The catastrophic magnitude 7.8 earthquake shattered entire apartment buildings in Turkish cities, devastating the already displaced millions of Syrian families.
This was the most devastating quake to hit Türkiyein 100 years and struck with ferocity before dawn, in the midst of harsh weather conditions. The already shattered souls of the people were further crushed by another massive 7.7 magnitude quake that struck later in the day.
The loss and heartbreak from these earthquakes are immeasurable, and the aftermath will leave deep scars on the affected communities for years to come.
In the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes in Turkiye, the need for shelter has become more important than ever. Many families have lost their homes and are forced to live in makeshift tents or on the streets, facing harsh conditions and an uncertain future.
The situation is no different in Syria, where many have also been impacted by the recent earthquakes. Minhaj Welfare Foundation has initiated a shelter project to provide safe and secure housing for earthquake affected families in Turkiye and Syria.
Join us in building hope and creating a brighter future for these families. Every little bit helps, and together, we can make a meaningful impact on their lives.
