Lahore, May 09, 2023 (PPI-OT): How to donate to Turkey Earthquake? On February 6, 2023, magnitude 7.8 and 7.5 earthquakes struck southern Turkey and western Syria, causing massive damage in both countries. The initial earthquake was caused by a fault 18 kilo-meters (11 miles) beneath the earth’s surface. Because of its shallow depth, the earthquake caused violent shaking in areas hundreds of kilometers away from the epicenter. The first quake was followed nine hours later by a 7.5 magnitude event, along with hundreds of smaller aftershocks.
In Turkey, Gaziantep, Kahramanmaras, Hatay, Adiyaman, Diyarbakir, Adana, Osmaniye, Sanliurfa, and Malatya and, in Syria, the northwest province of Aleppo, were among the hardest hit, with many buildings and homes being destroyed or severely damaged. The death toll has surpassed 59,259 people. As people around the world witnessed the extent of the damage caused by the earthquake, there has been an outpouring of support and empathy for the people affected. One way to show your support is by making a donation to help those affected by the earthquake.
Donating to relief efforts is a powerful way to make a difference, and even a small contribution can go a long way in providing aid to those in need.
