Turkey and Syria Earthquake Disaster Response Fund

About

Thousands of people are dead and many more are injured after a massive earthquake rocked Turkey and Syria Monday morning. The magnitude 7.8 quake was one of the strongest to strike the area in more than a century. Amid severe aftershocks, Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Agency (AFAD) has called for international help. Many other organizations are also on the ground responding. You can help these 12 humanitarian organizations on the ground by donating to this fund.

We advocate for the universal recognition of the rights of people with disabilities through national planning and advocacy. Humanity & Inclusion is the world's most comprehensive mine action charity. The heart of this action is victim assistance—this was our beginning in 1982—but teams also prevent injuries through weapons and landmine clearance, risk education activities, stockpile management, and advocacy to ban landmines and cluster bombs.
