£100 - Emergency aid - help us to provide urgent food, water, and medical aid to earthquake survivors
The 7.8 magnitude earthquake, the worst since 1999, is Turkeys deadliest on record. Entire neighbourhoods have been devastated and many people remain trapped beneath the rubble. The death toll is rising as a massive emergency rescue operation is hampered by horrific weather conditions, including rain and snow.
The epicentre of the earthquake is a region already devastated by war. Hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees, already struggling for survival amidst a bitter winter, have been impacted.
Thousands of homes have been affected, and families are now living in temporary accommodation. Human Appeal is on the ground right now working in close coordination with the local authorities, monitoring the events and participating in the humanitarian efforts to provide vital assistance to affected families, who are in urgent need.
