7.8 Earthquake Emergency Response in Turkey & Syria

About this record

GlobalGiving identifies International Blue Crescent as the owner of this emergency response project. The project names the February 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria and describes urgent needs for food, water, shelter and health support. Its reports describe work in affected Turkish regions and Syrian camps, reflecting a response area wider than the mapped GDACS epicenter. [1] [2]

Reports cover distributions of water, food and blankets, and describe community centers, child-friendly spaces and health services. These details come from the project's own reporting and should be read as its account of activities. The page's status is funded and donations through this project are closed; it remains visible so past response work can be compared with the event and organization records. [2]

The disaster link points to GDACS event 1357372, which recorded the magnitude 7.8 Türkiye earthquake. The linked IFRC appeal is a distinct Turkish Red Crescent Society operation. Neither the GDACS epicenter map nor the IFRC target identifies the exact places or number of people served by this GlobalGiving project. [3] [4]
