Methods: Secondary data review and Key informant and group interviews were used.
Findings: On 6 February 2023, a series of earthquakes killed over 55,000 people in Turkey and Syria, in the worst earthquakes the region has seen in 20 years.
Syria, many affected people were already living in a dire situation, due to over 13 years of instability and conflict. Most cities are still in ruins, and basic infrastructure is severely damaged. SARC continues to be a critical lifeline by providing humanitarian services: food, water, basic relief items, health care, and psychosocial support. Meanwhile, continue shrinking funding support to continue those activities are ever worsening due to many other conflicts in the world.
IFRC capacity building support toward SARC Health and care activities enabled them to ensure quality and efficiency.
