Earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria
Glenside Lions, 201S1, have donated $5,000 to the LCIF Earthquake Appeal for Türkiye and Syria.
According to the Government of Türkiye, at least 3,381 people died and more than 20,000 were injured after a 7.8 magnitude quake struck close to the southern city of Gaziantep, followed by another 7.5 magnitude earthquake several hours later.
Almost 6,000 buildings have reportedly collapsed in the country according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
To date, around 8,000 people have been rescued by emergency teams coordinated by the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD), according to UNHCR.
One month on from the two catastrophic earthquakes that struck Türkiye and Syria, more than 850,000 children remain displaced after being forced from their damaged or destroyed homes amid millions in dire need of aid, UN agencies said.
