Support for people affected by the Turkey-Syria earthquakes

08 February 2023

Devastating earthquakes struck Turkey and Syria on Monday 6 February 2023.

Thousands of people are dead and many more injured as the earthquakes struck the heart of the world’s largest refugee population.

Rescue workers are desperately searching for survivors in cities and towns across the area.

We are deeply concerned for all those affected in Turkey and Syria and for any Brent residents with loved ones in the region.

Several Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) charities have launched appeals and are supporting the response on the ground in Syria and Turkey.

If you would like to help, we encourage you to donate to one of the DEC charities’ appeals below:

  • ActionAid
  • Action Against Hunger
  • British Red Cross
  • CARE International
  • Christian Aid
  • International Rescue Committee
  • Islamic Relief
  • Oxfam
  • Save the Children
  • World Vision
