  • 1.  Earthquakes in Turkey and Syria

    Posted 02-21-2023 17:30

    We are deeply saddened by the earthquakes that struck southeastern Turkey and northern Syria, killed or injured tens of thousands of people, and left millions homeless. After two major 7.8- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes on February 6, 2023, another massive 6.3-magnitude earthquake shook southern Turkey on February 20, 2023.

    If you would like to help support those affected, here are some resources to consider:

    Bridge to Türkiye Earthquake Relief Fund

    Turkish Philanthropy Funds

    UNICEF

    United Nations

    We extend our most profound condolences to all who lost their loved ones and homes.

    Sincerely,

    The news about the earthquakes are really devastating. People lost their loved ones, homes, jobs... It will take years to mend the physical and mental health consequences.
