We are deeply saddened and express our care and solidarity for the people affected by the earthquake and after-shocks which devastated large areas of central and southern Türkiye and northern Syria on February 6, 2023. 

For the people of Syria, the earthquake adds to the politically-driven humanitarian disaster that has been ongoing there for the last 12 years. Assisting the frontline organisations that are bringing vital assistance to people neglected by governments globally is crucial. We have listed a few below – please donate what you can. Your money will help meet the basic needs of those whose lives have been devastated by the earthquake – losing their loved ones, homes and access to food, shelter and warmth.

• Avaaz
• White Helmets in Syria
• Oxfam/ Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC)
• Petition the UK Government to create a Turkish family scheme visa for people homeless due to the earthquake
