The Red Crescent is on the ground in both countries, aiding rescue efforts and providing emergency medical treatment, shelter, food, warm blankets and winter kits. The focus has now shifted to providing essential support for survivors who have lost their homes, belongings, livelihoods and loved ones. The earthquakes are estimated to have directly impacted 26 million people across Türkiye (Turkey) and Syria. The first, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, struck in the early hours of 6 February near the city of Gaziantep, followed hours later by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake that hit around 80 miles away in the Elbistan district. A further 100,000 were injured following the two powerful earthquakes. It has been more than two months since two earthquakes killed over 50,000 people in Türkiye and Syria. ![]() ![]() Arrow icon DONATE TO THE TURKEY-SYRIA EARTHQUAKE APPEAL
