The Deadliest Earthquake in Two Decades

A devastating earthquake struck Turkiye on February 6th, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The devastation has left many families homeless, injured and in need of basic necessities like food, water, and medical attention. Inshallah, I, Yaser Birjas will be traveling with Islamic Relief USA to the quake affected areas in Turkiye. I well be joining the relief effort, bearing witness to this catastrophic event, and advocating for the needs of the survivors. 

In this time of great need, we ask each and every one of us to consider giving generously to help those affected by the earthquake in Turkiye. No matter how small, every donation can make a difference in the lives of those in need.

As Muslims, it is our duty to come together and assist those in need, especially during times of crisis. We are reminded in the Quran that “whoever saves one life, it is as if he has saved all of mankind.” (Quran 5:32)

Your contributions will go directly towards providing immediate aid, such as cash assistance, food, winter necessities and medical assistance, to those affected by the earthquake in Turkiye. With your support, we can help bring comfort and hope to those in need during this difficult time.

Let us show the world the true spirit of compassion and generosity that is at the heart of our community. Donate today and be a part of the effort to bring relief to those affected by the earthquake in Turkey.

May Allah bless your generosity and reward you for your efforts.

Focus on Supporting Survivors

Islamic Relief’s global family and partnerships—including local staff in more than three dozen countries—maximize IRUSA’s ability to respond to urgent situations with speed and efficiency. We also maintain the highest standards of best practices, dignity, and cultural sensitivity, and we make sure that our response aligns with survivors’ needs immediately, for the longer-term, or both!

IRUSA’s emergency aid efforts can include distribution of items such as food, water, financial aid, and more. Construction of temporary shelters and providing vital medical aid are often priorities too. And when applicable, we work with community groups on the ground to assess what we can do to help with longer-term recovery, rebuilding, and revitalization efforts.

In the United States specifically, IRUSA’s Disaster Response Team (DRT) serve as first responders for emergencies. From natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires to tragedies like the Pulse and Parkland shootings, the DRT team continues to be one of the first humanitarian teams nationwide to lend a helping hand to people in their most trying hours.

I Need YOUR Help

Thanks to you, we’ve been able to accomplish so much. But there’s still so much more to do. By continuing to support our efforts in Türkiye, you can help make a difference in the lives of those in desperate need.
