Dear friend — I wanted to make sure that you saw the message below.
It is heartbreaking to see the death count continue to rise from the tragic earthquake in Syria and Türkiye.
Because of the generous relief mobilized by supporters like you, friend, UNFPA is on the ground in the region now distributing blankets and warm clothes, as well as dignity kits, which contain essential personal care items like soap, toothbrushes, flashlights, menstrual products, and more.
There are so many women and girls right now who need help. And as this crisis continues to grow, it will be critical for us to scale our efforts.
We are truly grateful to our supporters that have already responded with a generous donation. As the need is critical, we hope that you will take a moment to share your support if you have not already done so. I’m dropping a link where you can securely donate online, and I hope to see your gift come in.

Subject: URGENT UPDATE ON SYRIA
Friend, the headlines are heartbreaking: a 7.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked Syria and the surrounding region on Monday has killed thousands of people.
UNFPA is on the ground in Syria right now helping to mitigate the impacts of this massive earthquake.We’re working with partners to ensure that the entire affected population – especially women and girls – can access the lifesaving care they desperately need right now.
This includes distributing dignity kits that include soap, toothbrushes, flashlights, menstrual products, and warm clothing for the freezing temperatures currently chilling the region. When lifesaving services like these are underfunded, lives fall through the cracks. That's why we are asking our supporters to make a donation to ensure our relief efforts can scale up as needed.
Your gift will deliver lifesaving sexual and reproductive health care to women and girls in more than 150 countries around the world. Thank you for being there for every woman and girl.
