“It is extremely cold, we need blankets, mattresses and winter clothes: We are sleeping in public parks after our home collapsed.”
This heartbreaking update is what Ameera shared with us as she was sitting, exhausted, in the freezing temperatures of Aleppo, Syria in the aftermath of last week’s massive earthquakes.
We want to be honest with you about conditions on the ground in the aftermath of this devastating earthquake, friend:
Essential medical supplies have been wiped out across the two countries
Hundreds of health centers, maternity facilities and safe spaces have been flattened
Survivors who weren’t killed by the earthquake are freezing in the bitter cold
With the death toll continuing to rise, we know how paralyzing a tragedy of this size can feel. But today, we have the opportunity to turn that shock, fear, and despair into action.
