Turkiye and Syria Earthquakes
On 6 February 2023, Türkiye and Syria were struck by a series of earthquakes which left a trail of devastation in their wake. Over 55,000 people were killed, more than 130,000 injured and approximately 15 million impacted.
Raneem, a tailor from Syria said, “My life changed horribly to the point that the mind cannot bear it. I lost my eldest son under the rubble. My youngest son lost his right forearm and left leg and I lost a limb.” On top of this unimaginable suffering, Raneem’s family lost their home and everything they owned.
Working with local partner organization NSPPL, Relief International offered Raneem much-needed help including physical rehabilitation, psychological support and a prosthetic limb. She says “I dream of getting the limb… of returning to my work…and being able to send my children back to school.”
In 2023, Relief International provided over 29,000 physical rehabilitation sessions to people impacted by the earthquakes across Türkiye and Syria.
