Thousands of people in Turkey and Syria are reeling from deadly twin earthquakes that struck the morning of February 6. The first registered at magnitude 7.8—one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the region in 100 years—and the second at magnitude 7.5.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams have received many injured and dead people in the hospitals we support in northwest Syria, and our teams have been working since the early hours to respond to the influx. In other locations, we have donated supply kits, and we are in touch with health authorities to provide support.
As an independent, impartial, and neutral nonprofit medical humanitarian organization, we depend on the generosity of individual donors to ensure we can respond to emergencies like this around the world.
Help us save lives in the Turkey-Syria earthquake and other emergencies around the world by making a generous, tax-deductible gift now.
