A catastrophic 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck in the early hours of February 6 near the border between Türkiye and Syria. In a region where many displaced families live in temporary housing after fleeing their homes, the need for immediate assistance will be immense. There are already over 17000 confirmed deaths and many thousands more injured, with those numbers expected to rise as work is undertaken to rescue survivors trapped under rubble.
As the scale of the disaster continues to be discovered, CLWR's partners in the ACT Alliance are conducting rapid needs assessments, and already working to provide life-saving supplies to impacted people.
As temperatures drop below freezing overnight this week, your gift will provide emergency blankets and shelter, plus life-saving clean water, food and healthcare.
