Earthquake in Turkey

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and Syria on February 6 with enough force to be felt in nations hundreds of miles away. More than 100 aftershocks have been recorded since the initial disaster, impacting millions of people throughout the region. Through local partners in southern Turkey and northern Syria, Send Relief is meeting critical needs for impacted families in desperate need of help and hope.
