In cooperation with Syrian and Turkish partner organizations, the first aid packages containing food and warm blankets have been distributed to Syrian earthquake victims over the past few days. Together with its partners, action medeor has been organizing medical care for the buried and injured since the first day after the disaster. Following the opening of further border crossings, aid for the Syrian earthquake areas is now being massively increased. In the region, which is already home to many war refugees, existing tent camps for refugees are now being supplemented by additional tents for earthquake victims. action medeor and its partners will work together to provide people with shelter, food, stoves, clothing and hygiene kits - all relief supplies that are urgently needed at the moment. action medeor is organizing this humanitarian aid together with its partners in the areas of northern Syria controlled by the Syrian opposition. There are no stable state structures there, which is why the crisis response forces in the region are only weakly trained. “The earthquake hit the weakest of the weak in northern Syria,” press spokesperson Markus Bremers explains, who was already in the affected regions two days after the earthquake as part of a reconnaissance team. "Many of the people who live there have already had to flee the war and live in extremely poor conditions. The earthquake has once again robbed them of what little security they had."
