Earthquake in Turkey and Syria

To help the victims of the severe earthquake in Turkey and Syria, action medeor is providing 100,000 euros in emergency aid.

The money will be used to finance the first emergency aid measures that action medeor's Turkish and Syrian partner organizations have already begun in the last few hours. Earthquake victims are being given initial medical care, provided with food, tents and blankets and housed in reception facilities.

At the same time, action medeor's medical warehouse in Tönisvorst on the Lower Rhine is now starting to assemble the first relief supplies. Dressing materials, patient monitors and oxygen concentrators are being packed in these hours to be sent to the affected areas as quickly as possible.

The partners of action medeor are working in the Turkish region around the cities of Gaziantep, Sanliurfa, Kilis and Hatay, the Syrian partners in the Idlib region. Together with our partners, we are currently gathering further information on the situation in order to coordinate further aid measures as quickly as possible.

If you would like to support the work of action medeor, you can make a donation. If you donate online at www.medeor.de/spenden, you can also leave your address for a donation receipt. The classic way is via IBAN DE78320500000000009993 at Sparkasse Krefeld, donation keyword: “Earthquake Syria and Turkey”.
