People in Türkiye and Syria awoke to chaos after devastating earthquakes collapsed buildings and endangered countless people. Red Cross Red Crescent volunteers are rushing to rescue those who are trapped under mounds of rubble during harsh winter conditions.

The Red Cross Red Crescent is working to deliver emergency relief and to get help to those impacted by the earthquakes as quickly as possible. Money raised will enable the Red Cross Red Crescent to provide immediate relief, ongoing recovery efforts and resiliency and preparedness activities in impacted and surrounding areas.  The activities and areas impacted may evolve based on emerging needs and compounding humanitarian crises. 

Thanks to the generosity of Canadian Red Cross donors, the Government of Canada match of $10 million has been reached as of February 12, 2023. Your donation will continue to provide vital humanitarian assistance to people impacted by the earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria. Thank you for your support.
