Two massive earthquakes have struck in Türkiye, leaving thousands of people there and in northern Syria in desperate need of support.

Please give now to provide emergency aid including food, shelter, water and other lifesaving supplies to those affected by the earthquakes.

The death toll continues to rise with many more feared dead. The aftershocks are as powerful as the earthquakes which were some of the strongest to hit these areas in 100 years. Buildings and homes are unsafe with people stranded outside in the freezing temperatures.

For those in Syria, this tragedy comes on top of 12 years of civil war, and an already unimaginable level of suffering. Countless families have lost everything and are facing homelessness in the bitter cold right now. We urgently need your support to save lives before it’s too late.

Please note: As the UN accepted Turkey’s request to change its official English name to the Turkish spelling, the CARE office in Turkey has also shifted its official title to CARE Türkiye instead of CARE Turkey. Image: © AP Photo/Khalil Hamra
