Goal

Turkiye (formerly Turkey) and Syria were hit by the worst large-scale earthquake in history.

At 4:17 a.m. local time on Feb. 6, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck the city of Turkiye (formerly Turkey) and northwestern Syria. A series of tremors in the southern province of Turkiye and neighboring Syria has resulted in more than 3,800 deaths, 18,014 injuries, and more than 33,000 people displaced to date.

The death toll continues to rise with strong aftershocks that are still being felt today.

Two 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude temblors and more than 80 aftershocks have followed, and while the death toll continues to rise, the strong aftershocks have made search and rescue operations difficult. At least 4,748 buildings have collapsed since the quake, and more than 7,840 people need rescue and medical attention. While the destruction of roads and buildings has led to a number of deaths, many victims are still trapped in the rubble, especially as temperatures in some areas have dropped below freezing overnight, worsening the conditions of survivors and injured people trapped in the rubble.

Help the people of Turkiye (formerly Turkey)-Syria with Good Neighbors.

Good Neighbors quickly deployed an emergency relief response team and worked with partners to determine a $1 million emergency response for the people of Turkiye and Syria affected by the sudden earthquake.

We plan to provide emergency food, water, and sanitation supplies, as well as locally needed supplies such as blankets, sleeping bags, and tents, primarily in temporary shelters.

We ask for your support and prayers for the children and people of Turkiye and Syria who have lost their daily lives as a result of the sudden earthquake.
