GIVING BACK WITH OXFAM THIS RAMADAN

Oxfam's Türkiye-Syria earthquake appeal

On the 6th February, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit southern Türkiye, northern Syria and surrounding areas, causing a huge loss of life, injuries and the displacement of many people. An estimated 26 million people across Türkiye and Syria have been affected and Oxfam has launched an urgent appeal for help. 

These are the worst earthquakes to strike Türkiye (Turkey) in nearly 100 years. They have devastated a region where large refugee communities were living in tough conditions. The severe and continuous shocks from the earthquakes have reached cities in Syria like Aleppo, Latakia, Hama and Idlib where the humanitarian need is at its highest since the conflict began 12 years ago.

Infrastructure is heavily damaged, meaning people will struggle to find safe shelter, water and food especially in places impacted by ongoing conflict. The harsh weather and damaged roads make rescue efforts challenging.

Oxfam’s team in Syria and its affiliate in Türkiye (Oxfam KEDV) have been working with local partners to provide clean water, food, sanitation and shelter. They are aiming to support over 2 million people with vital assistance over the next 3 years.
