ELIA Community Supports Urgent Turkey and Syria Earthquake Appeals for Emergency Aid
Friday 17 February 2023
The ELIA community is deeply saddened by the tragic situation in Turkey and Syria as a result of the recent earthquake.
Tens of thousands of people have been left homeless after an earthquake and aftershocks devastated parts of southeast Turkey and northwest Syria. The area is inhabited by more than 13 million people. Over 33,000 people are known to have lost their lives.
The UN expects the number of deaths to double as rescue efforts continue.
As our members and their students mobilise to support the recovery effort and to provide care to affected staff and students, we encourage those organisers of aid campaigns, fundraising events, and relief to get in touch so we can amplify your activities
and actions throughout our network.
Global organisations such as Red Cross, UNICEF, Oxfam International are currently accepting donations.
Please find a list below of aid and fundraising initiatives supported by ELIA members:
