Catastrophic earthquake strikes Syria

Syria
Harim, Syria. People in Northwest Syria rush to a building that was damaged by the massive earthquake that struck the region on February 6, 2023.

On February 6, 2023, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Northwest Syria, including Idlib, where Mercy Corps currently works. Our colleagues in Northwest Syria report that the situation is catastrophic, with the area affected by the earthquake being the center for over 1.8 million displaced Syrians who were already suffering after a decade of conflict.

Mercy Corps is responding to this crisis, rapidly assessing needs and providing emergency water, sanitation, and hygiene activities, working to deliver essential supplies to communities affected by the earthquake. Your gift today will support families in Syria as they recover from this crisis and build toward a bolder, brighter future. Please give today.
