John: Early this morning, a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Türkiye (also referred to as Turkey) and Syria. Thousands of people have been killed – and thousands more are injured and displaced. Our teams are in the region assessing the situation and ready to respond to protect children.
When a disaster like this strikes, children are always among the most vulnerable, John. Our teams are preparing to respond to this emergency, as thousands of children are without shelter in the freezing cold. But this is going to take considerable resources, and that’s why we’re asking you to contribute to our Children's Emergency Fund right now.
