ShelterBox is responding to the devastating earthquakes that struck southern Turkey (Türkiye) and northern Syria. The humanitarian need is immense and growing. The death toll is already in the tens of thousands and only continues to rise. Thousands of buildings have been destroyed in both countries. People have been left homeless, with nowhere to sleep, in the middle of a bitter winter.

As part of its 2023 In-Person Conference, NAYEN is raising funds to support ShelterBox's efforts to deliver emergency shelter and essential aid to affected families. Your support will contribute to ShelterBox's Turkey and Syria Earthquake response as part of their General Fund, which enables the organization to stay flexible and make a difference in the lives of people impacted by disasters around the world.

ShelterBox’s emergency response team is in Turkey, developing partnerships and working out how they can get supplies to the affected regions.

They expect items such as thermal blankets and solar lights to be needed. They are also considering tents. Providing cash assistance could be an important element to this response too – giving people who have been left with nothing the flexibility to get what they need.

ShelterBox has experience responding to earthquakes in Turkey before, most notably the 2011 Van earthquake. ShelterBox also has an ongoing program of work supporting people displaced by conflict in Syria.
