Thousands of people have lost their lives and thousands more have been injured in a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the Turkey (Türkiye) and Syria borders. This is one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the region in 100 years.
Our teams are on the ground in the region and ready to respond. Homes, buildings and essential infrastructure have been destroyed and children will need urgent support to access food, shelter and warm clothing.
In any crisis, we know that children are always the most at risk. The Children's Emergency Fund enables us to respond to crises around the world, whether from conflict, climate change or natural disaster.
With your support, Save the Children is there before, during and after an emergency. Working together, we help communities become more resilient so that each time a crisis happens they are stronger, more likely to survive, and recover more quickly. Your support today helps make this possible.
