Hello,

Thanks for your support of this project! I'm writing to share some updates on our work.

Following the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck southern Turkey and north-west Syria on February 6, 2023, ActionAid and our local partners quickly sprung into action. Thanks to your incredible support, we've been able to reach vulnerable communities with our efforts.To date:

  • 6,330 people have been reached through search and rescue operations.
  • 41,090 people were reached with food and nutrition items, including 4,004 people residing in collective shelters, through a women-led community kitchen.
  • 9,083 people were supported with tents distribtuted to earthquake affected families and shelter items including floor mats, mattresses, emergency flashlighs, jerry cans, plastic sheets, and sleeping bags.
  • 53,773 people were reached through services provided at a hospital in Idleb, providing health services including maternal and obstetric care, pediatric care, reproductive health services, and health protection awareness.
  • 3,045 people received medical kits in Turkey and Syria.
  • 15,353 people received multi-purpose cash assistance, enabling them to meet their own diverse needs and priorities in the aftermath of the earthquake.
  • 46,301 people were reached with protection services, including psychosocial support and gender-based violence counselling and training.
  • 37,667 people received WASH service support (20,163 women and 17,504 men).
  • 33,927 people received winterization kits and dignity kits.

These are just some of the ways your donations have had a powerful and lasting impact in the wake of this devastating disaster.
