Earthquake Emergency Relief – Turkey & Syria

Iltizam has been diligently engaged in providing food relief

Iltizam has received recent information that search and rescue operations in the area have been halted.

Consequently, their operations have become unsustainable. This is due to the inherently perilous and risky nature of their work.

Urgent Crisis: Critical Shortages in Northern Syria Heighten Mortality Risks

In Northern Syria, the dire situation has left people without sufficient access to food and shelter, enduring freezing temperatures.

Moreover, a close associate, who also serves on the local council in Jindires, reported that 850 individuals confirmed deaths by February 14.

Thus, there is an anticipation of a significant rise in this number should external assistance and search-and-rescue efforts be reinstated.

This grim reality is especially distressing for a small town with a population of 39,000, where the recorded death toll is tragically disproportionate and deeply saddening.

In line with our commitment to aid quake-affected areas, we acknowledge the toll harsh, freezing temperatures are exacting on the people.

Presently, our current focus is on emergency relief – which encompasses supplying vital needs like food, safe drinking water, insulated shelters, and firewood for warmth in Turkey and Syria.

Despite the challenges, we persist in our mission to alleviate suffering and restore hope in the quake-affected regions. Ensuring immediate assistance reaches earthquake victims is vital to prevent further casualties from both the quake and freezing conditions.

Please lend your support to the earthquake victims. Without prompt action, more lives are in jeopardy, not only due to the earthquake itself but also because of the perilous cold.

Amidst this adversity, Iltizam remains resolute in its commitment to alleviating suffering and restoring hope.

Our team is tirelessly working on multiple fronts, collaborating with local authorities and mobilizing resources to address the pressing needs.

Assist earthquake victims promptly to prevent further casualties from both the earthquake and freezing conditions. For additional information, please visit our website. For the latest updates on this issue, you may refer to this link.
