How to support survivors of the Turkey-Syria earthquake
The UK's Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) have launched an appeal to help hundreds of thousands of people affected by earthquakes that hit Turkey and Syria.
A series of devastating earthquakes have hit southern Turkey and north-west Syria this week, killing thousands of people and injuring many more. Our thoughts go out to all those affected and their families and friends.
Thousands of buildings, including hospitals and schools, have collapsed and infrastructure has been badly damaged and people have been left without shelter in freezing conditions.
If you wish to make a financial contribution of support please ensure your donation is to an officially registered charity or use the button below to donate to the DEC.
The DEC are working with their charitable and local partners to provide essential resources, including blankets, warm clothes, emergency shelter, food and clean water
You can help people affected by the crisis by donating and helping to raise money for the DEC appeal. This allows for the DEC charities to scale up their response and reach more people.
The UK Government has agreed to match up to £5 million donated by the public to this appeal.
