On February 6, 2023, a powerful earthquake struck southern Türkiye and northwest Syria — triggering a string of earthquakes and aftershocks across the region.

More than six months after the devastating earthquakes, health services remain critically impacted. Among the 9.1 million people directly affected by the earthquakes, 3 million had to flee their homes.

And even though the media has stopped showing coverage and the rest of the world has moved on, UNFPA is still on the ground delivering lifesaving care and resources to women and girls.

Six months after life-altering disaster, women and girls are still counting on your support today. Donate now to send lifesaving care to women and girls in Syria, Türkiye, and around the world. Our updated critical relief efforts are only 20% funded while millions of lives hang in the balance. [[link removed]]

Crises can mean life or death for pregnant women

*
Thousands
of
hospitals,
including
UNFPA-supported
facilities
and
safe
spaces,
have
collapsed
or
been
damaged.
This
has
left
pregnant
women
and
new
mothers
struggling
to
access
essential
care,
including
emergency
obstetric
support
and
C-sections.

Disrupted sexual and reproductive health access could trigger a secondary disaster

*
Over
100
health
facilities
in
Türkiye
and
more
than
170
in
Syria
have
been
destroyed
or
damaged,
including
at
least
seven
hospitals.
This
puts
at
immediate
and
longer-term
risk
the
health
of
some
2.2
million
women
and
girls
of
reproductive
age
in
Syria
and
4.1
million
in
Türkiye,
all
of
whom
need
the
sexual
and
reproductive
health
care
of
their
choice.

Violence protection needs are soaring just as services shutter

*
In
a
crisis,
women
and
girls
are
at
much
greater
risk
of
violence
and
abuse,
while
social
security
and
protection
services
break
down
and
health
facilities
collapse.
Millions
of
survivors
are
meanwhile
enduring
terrible
trauma
and
need
access
to
mental
health
and
psychosocial
support.

Displacement takes a severe physical, mental and social toll

*
Over
100,000
households
have
reportedly
been
displaced
by
the
earthquakes,
although
the
true
number
is
likely
much
higher.
Many
people
are
staying
with
host
communities
or
returning
to
unsafe,
uninhabitable
homes;
many
more
live
on
the
streets
or
in
refuges,
unable
to
rebuild
their
houses
or
livelihoods.
Almost
half
of
them
are
women
and
girls
grappling
with
homelessness,
discrimination,
poverty,
and
escalating
risks
of
exploitation
and
abuse.

Now more than ever, we must provide solidarity and financial support

*
UNFPA
has
been
on
the
ground
since
day
one,
coordinating
with
partners
to
reestablish
sexual
and
reproductive
health
and
protection
services
in
Syria
and
Türkiye.
But
women
and
girls
are
counting
on
urgently
needed
funding
for
more
clinics,
mobile
health
teams,
and
safe
spaces.

Will you make a gift to fund lifesaving services for women and girls in Syria, Türkiye, and around the world? We cannot look away while needs mount, and the world looks away six months after the earthquakes. [[link removed]]

DONATE NOW [[link removed]]

From opening emergency clinics to distributing dignity kits to operating mobile health clinics so we can reach even more people, we’re doing everything we can to save lives in the aftermath of this disaster — but there are so many more survivors counting on us. We can’t forget about them, and every second counts.
