A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck on Monday 6th February in Türkiye and Syria, killing an estimated 50,000 people as they slept, and displacing many hundreds of thousands.
One Ummah have been delivering aid in many affected areas but we've recognised the massive need in North-Western Syria particularly and our aid trucks have been supporting thousands of families since Tuesday 7th February, just 24 hours after the earthquake struck, claiming thousands of lives and displaced tens of thousands of others.
Our immediate response is in the form of tents, housing, food packs, clean drinking water, hot meals, hygiene kits and blankets. To date, our teams on the ground in Syria have delivered aid to Idlib, Latakia, Sarmada, Janderis, Afreen and Salqeen and are continuing to do so every single day.
Both in Syria and Türkiye, tens of thousands are now injured and tens of thousands displaced, calling out to humanitarian organisations for help. They're cold, hungry and in dire need of aid.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
‘Whosoever removes a worldly grief from a believer,
Allah will remove from him one of the griefs
of the Day of Judgement.’
