"I feel like I am dying" - in the aftermath of the earthquakes thousands need urgent help

Description

Two powerful earthquakes that struck south-eastern Türkiye and northern Syria on 6 February have claimed thousands of lives and caused untold destruction to homes and infrastructure across the region. Among those affected inside Syria are families that were already displaced from their homes by the country’s long-running crisis, living in tents, flimsy shelters, and partially destroyed buildings. In Türkiye, those caught up in the disaster include many thousands of refugees from Syria and the communities that have generously hosted them for nearly 12 years.
