TURKEY Emergency appeal (UPDATE)

The recent earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria have left a trail of devastation, with a death toll that is now nearing 44,000. This tragic event has affected thousands of families, leaving many without homes, loved ones, and hope for the future. The scope of this disaster is staggering, and the impact will be felt for years to come.

In the midst of this tragedy, there have been some glimmers of hope. Rescuers have worked tirelessly to locate survivors, and in one incredible case, two men were found alive after being trapped for 260 hours in a collapsed building in Antakya, Turkey. The determination and bravery of these rescue workers is truly inspiring, and their efforts have saved countless lives.

However, the situation on the ground remains dire. The earthquake has caused extensive damage to buildings, infrastructure, and public services, leaving many communities without basic necessities like clean water, food, and shelter. The impact has been particularly devastating for those already struggling with poverty and instability.

The road to recovery will be long and challenging, requiring a concerted effort from governments, aid organisations, and individuals worldwide. In the short term, the focus must be on providing emergency assistance to those affected, including medical care, shelter, and supplies. In the longer term, efforts will need to be made to support those who have lost everything.

ISRA-UK is committed to supporting the relief efforts in any way we can. We urge our supporters and donors to contribute to help provide assistance and support to those affected.

ISRA-UK is on the ground in Turkey, providing emergency shelters/tents, blankets, winter clothes, hot meals, and food packs. Time is of the essence, and support is needed to save as many lives as possible.
