50,000 dead and millions displaced across Türkiye and Syria due the devastating earthquakes of February 2023.
The situation on the ground right now is devastating in Türkiye and Syria. Our teams are delivering emergency aid around the clock to save as many lives as possible.
TÜRKIYE-SYRIA HIT BY EARTHQUAKES
After two huge earthquakes struck on Monday 6th February in Türkiye and Syria, killing an estimated 50,000 people as they slept, a further two have struck on Monday 20th February measuring 5.8 and 6.4 in magnitude.
One Ummah have been delivering aid in many affected areas but we’ve recognised the massive need in North-Western Syria particularly and our aid trucks have been supporting thousands of families since Tuesday 7th February, just 24 hours after the earthquake struck, claiming thousands of lives and displaced tens of thousands of others.
We are delivering daily thanks to your donations. Our immediate response is in the form of tents, housing, food packs, clean drinking water, hot meals, hygiene kits and blankets. To date, our teams on the ground have delivered aid to Idlib, Latakia, Sarmada, Janderis, Afreen and Salqeen and are continuing to do so every single day.
Both in Syria and Türkiye, tens of thousands are now injured and tens of thousands displaced, calling out to humanitarian organisations for help. They’re cold, hungry and in dire need of aid.
Upon hearing news of the earthquake from our teams on the ground, One Ummah immediately dispatched a team of aid workers, including our ambassador Yusuf Chambers. We now have dozens of aid workers across Hatay province in Türkiye and the worst-affected zones across Syria.
The situation is extremely pressing. People are struggling for medication, blankets, food, water and adequate shelter whilst the death toll is rising by the hour. The One Ummah team are working tirelessly on the ground to save as many lives as possible in dozens of areas.
The prophet Muhammad s.a.w said:
‘Whosoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs of the Day of Judgment.’
