Earthquakes Devastate Türkiye and Syria: Action Against Hunger Responds.

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck southeastern Türkiye and northern Syria early the morning of February 6, killing over 54,000 people and injuring thousands more. 

More than 232,000 buildings, including hospitals and schools, have been destroyed or damaged, leaving over 2.7 million people displaced. 

Making matters worse, winter weather in the region has brought snow and temperatures below zero. With millions already in precarious housing before the earthquake, there aren’t enough safe places to shelter those affected. 

In coordination with authorities in both countries, the Action Against Hunger team is helping manage earthquake response, including supporting the rapid distribution of food, hygiene products, clean water, and shelter. 

As we continue to access needs and distribute aid, flexible and rapid funding will remain essential for quickly scaling up our response and mobilizing new emergency activities.  

If you can, please support our efforts to deliver emergency care to the people of Türkiye and Syria.

By donating today, you can help make sure urgent, life-saving aid reaches families in need as quickly as possible.
