The two earthquakes that struck southern and central Turkey and northern and western Syria in quick succession earlier this month have left tens of thousands dead and millions more displaced. Described by humanitarian organisations as the worst natural disaster in the region for a century, survivors are now facing freezing conditions and are in urgent need.

Together with our sister company It’s Nice That, we’ve collated a growing list of ways to support the people of Turkey and Syria – from resources that share advice on where and how to donate, and how to identify misinformation about the devastating disaster, to a number of fundraisers, active sales and events.

The aftermath of the earthquakes will likely take years from which to recover, so while it can feel difficult to know how best to help, it’s imperative we continue to share information and resources to ensure ongoing support is available to those affected. This list will grow as we come across more initiatives, so if you have any additional recommendations, please let us know at [email protected].
