Türkiye and Syria Earthquakes Emergency Update - Aid has arrived in Türkiye
ShelterBox aid has arrived in Türkiye. Hundreds of tents have arrived in country on a free flight provided by Turkish Airlines from Panama – where we had stock pre-positioned.
We also have stocks of tents and household items, such as blankets and mattresses, en route to one of our existing and well trusted partners in northern Syria. Distribution of warm winter clothing to affected children in northern Syria has begun through another existing partner.
Additional ShelterBox response team members have arrived in Gaziantep, where a humanitarian hub has been set up. Having an extra team on the ground means we can be more agile and work more closely with partners as we to scale up our response.
Our response will focus on where the need is greatest across Syria and Türkiye
- Through the provision of emergency tents, helping people to shelter from the winter weather
- The provision of essential aid items like warm blankets and solar lights
- The provision of warm children's clothing in northern Syria
Thank you so much if you have already donated to our emergency appeal. Your generosity is the reason we can respond so quickly and get aid to those who need it most. Your support is incredibly powerful.
The response from our supporters has been amazing, but the need is great!
