John: After Monday's massive earthquake, more than 23,000 people in Türkiye (also referred to as Turkey) and Syria have died, thousands more are injured or still missing, and freezing winter conditions are putting even more lives at risk.
At this critical moment, our teams in Türkiye and Syria are working to meet children’s most urgent needs. That means providing emergency kits and supplies to help endure the harsh winter, including blankets and warm clothing.
In any crisis, we know that children are always the most at risk. The Children's Emergency Fund enables us to respond to crises around the world, whether from conflict, climate change or natural disaster.
What we do in the first few days after a devastating emergency like this truly makes a lifesaving difference in children’s lives. Thank you for your support during this critical time for children.
