On the 6th of February 2023, an earthquake hit Turkey and Syria causing devastating damage and loss of life. Those affected are in dire need of emergency relief with at least 24 millions people already affected by the disaster.<\/p>\n

The current situation in Syria is critical and has added to the country’s already dire humanitarian crisis. Over a million people have been displaced and many are struggling to access basic necessities like food, water, and medical care. The earthquake has destroyed homes, buildings, and infrastructure, leaving many people without shelter and essential services.<\/p>\n

With more than 40 thousand dead in Syria and Turkey, the earthquake has left tens of thousands of people in need of urgent help. Estimates suggest the death toll could pass 50,000, and up to five million Syrians are feared homeless as a result of the earthquake.<\/p>\n

Measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale, the largest earthquake in the area in 84 years caused extreme devastation in the already crumbling infrastructure of northwest Syria. As millions became homeless overnight, the Syrian people have literally been hit by a double crisis.<\/p>\n

International aid continues to reach Turkey, but efforts to deliver aid to Syria are proving far more challenging.<\/p>\n

So much so that the UN’s Emergency Relief Co-ordinator, Martin Griffiths, tweeted the following:<\/p>\n

At the #T\u00fcrkiye-#Syria border today.<\/em>
We have so far failed the people in north-west Syria.<\/em>
They rightly feel abandoned. Looking for international help that hasn\u2019t arrived.<\/em>
My duty and our obligation is to correct this failure as fast as we can.<\/em>
That\u2019s my focus now.<\/em><\/p>\n
