John, the news coming out of Türkiye, also referred to as Turkey, and Syria this morning is harrowing. More than 3,000 are now confirmed dead, and the death toll is climbing. Many more are trapped or injured. And more still are displaced in the rain, snow and freezing temperatures, unsure of how to find shelter and basic necessities.
While there are still many unknowns about the full scope of this disaster, we know that the road to recovery will be long, and families are in desperate need of your help.
Our teams are working quickly to assess the situation and respond with the resources children and families need most urgently – from water and food to hygiene kits. We're also working to assess what additional support will be needed in the challenging days, weeks and months ahead.
