The number of dead and injured in the southeast of Türkiye and Syria rises every hour after the devastating earthquake. Rapid help is now necessary to help the survivor quickly. Terre Des Hommes provides a total of 250,000 euros in immediate aid in a first step.

Thousands of people in the southeast of Türkiye have lost their members and friends from one moment. They stand in front of the ruins of their house, are desperate and freeze. You need tents and ceilings, warm clothes, food, clean drinking water and medication. Terre Des Hommes works with the local partner organization Support to Life , who knows the situation on site and takes care of those affected and the many traumatized children.

Terre Des Hommes also starts with humanitarian help in Aleppo in Syrian. Millions of Syrian civil war refugees live in the region who have suffered from the civil war for twelve years and who have been dependent on international help anyway. The supply situation is dramatic to hardly overlook the full extent of the destruction. Here our sister organization Terre Des Hommes Italy provides a good 6,000 people with urgently needed blankets and mattresses as well as hygiene articles, lamps and baby supplies in six collective accommodation in Aleppo.

Terre Des Hommes will expand emergency aid in Syria and Turkey as soon as possible to help other earthquake victims. We urgently ask for donations.
