Time is critical. We urgently need your support to respond to the needs of children affected by this earthquake. Please make an urgent donation.
UNICEF is on the ground assessing the needs of children and families affected by the devastating consequences of a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the Northern Region of Syria early morning on 6th February 2023.
We are still assessing the full extent of the devastation, but we already fear that hundreds of people have been killed, including many women and children. Many more have been injured and many homes damaged or destroyed. These people have nowhere to go and the freezing winter temperatures pose an additional challenge to their survival.
As reports trickle in, we fear that children are the most vulnerable and that many lives are at risk.
Children who are now in immediate danger of being hurt or killed in the oncoming aftershocks and collapse of infrastructures need urgent shelter, safe drinking water, and hygiene essentials.
We can’t afford to wait, and we urgently need your support to reach children. Please make an urgent donation today.
Eleven years into the conflict, economic downturn, and displacement have left hundreds of thousands of families struggling to survive in Syria. Now, the impact of such a devastating earthquake makes the situation even more desperate. We cannot wait – please donate to help us save lives.
Your donation can make a huge difference. Please help now!
