The Türkiye - Syria Earthquake Response
One of the strongest earthquakes to hit the region in 100 years
In the early hours of the 6th February, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake reverberated across 10 provinces in the south of Türkiye and devastated large parts of Syria. The earthquake and significant aftershocks have been felt throughout the region, as far as North East Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon. A second earthquake of 7.5 magnitude happened within hours. This is one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the region in 100 years and made thousands homeless, while the region is experiencing freezing weather and snowstorms.
This is a live and ongoing crisis. This page will be updated regularly with more information and resources.
