On February 6, 2023, two devastating earthquakes and numerous aftershocks hit Southeastern Türkiye and Northwest Syria that killed over 55,000, injured nearly 130,000 and left millions homeless. Many of the survivors are still struggling to cope with the fallout. World Vision’s response, and that of the wider humanitarian community, is vital in restoring essential services to help people recover from the trauma and destruction it caused.
