Islamic Relief Canada's Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal

Deadly earthquakes struck Southern Turkey and Northern Syria

The Turkey Syria earthquake from February 6 has caused extensive damage across multiple cities and towns. Compounded by the recent earthquake on February 20, even more people and infrastructure have been buried under the rubble, and rescue operations have resumed in a desperate bid to save lives.

Over 50,000 people have been confirmed dead across both Turkey and Syria, with a total of 24 million people impacted by the earthquake. Time is of critical essence for those impacted by the earthquake. International aid is needed now in order to reach and save as many lives as possible.
