The Turkey Syria earthquake from February 6 has caused extensive damage across multiple cities and towns. Compounded by the recent earthquake on February 20, even more people and infrastructure have been buried under the rubble, and rescue operations have resumed in a desperate bid to save lives.
Over 50,000 people have been confirmed dead across both Turkey and Syria, with a total of 24 million people impacted by the earthquake.
Time is of critical essence for those impacted by the earthquake. International aid is needed now in order to reach and save as many lives as possible.
Thank you to the Government of Canada who announced that donations made to the Humanitarian Coalition have been matched in support of relief efforts for the Turkey Syria earthquake.
As a member of the Humanitarian Coalition, all donations made through Islamic Relief Canada to the Turkiye Syria Earthquake Appeal from February 6 – 22, 2023 will be matched up to $10 million.
You can help ease the burden of this catastrophe for the people of Turkey and Syria by donating towards our life-saving work in communities for displaced families across both countries.
$130 can provide a cash grant for a family to purchase basic essentials $150 can provide a food pack for a displaced family $275 can provide two families with emergency shelter
Beyond urgent support, there’s still so much to be done. Be the first to start a monthly donation that will continue to support the long term needs of those affected by the earthquake. Your monthly donation can help us provide the continuous recovery support that communities need.
By sponsoring an orphan for $90/month, you can help save and transform the lives of vulnerable children in the Turkey and Syria earthquake disaster zone. Your support can provide much needed clean water, healthcare, education, and shelter.
