Turkiye \ Syria Earthquake Emergency 2023

Turkey/Syria Earthquake Relief Iftar 4/7

February 6, 2023 9:00am - June 1, 2023 12:00am

Anney & Hooria Iftar Charity Fundraiser

The Deadliest Earthquake in Two Decades

Alhamdulillah, we have been blessed with the opportunity to give to those in need. Hooria and I work hard in trying to find plausible charities for these efforts and to ensure that we are putting your money in the right hands. We would love for everyone to come out and support the cause once again, all the while enjoying good food and even greater company. 

While we will be covering the head cost of the food for this event, we would kindly like to ask everyone to donate a minimum of $30 per person towards the chosen charity. However, should you choose to donate more, you’re always welcomed to. Our target goal for this Ramadan is to raise $3000 Insh'Allah!  

On February 6, two powerful earthquakes erupted across Türkiye and Syria. One of the deadliest earthquakes in over 20 years, the initial 7.8 magnitude earthquake was centered near Gaziantep, a city in south central Türkiye home to millions of Syrian refugees. The second 7.5 magnitude earthquake was felt nearly nine hours later, and almost 2,000 aftershocks have been reported. As of now, nearly 40,000 people have died, nearly 80,000 more have been injured, and 6,000 buildings have been destroyed – and numbers are only expected to rise. About 80,000 rescue personnel have been deployed, working in near-freezing temperatures searching for survivors among the rubble.  

Islamic Relief is working with local partners across Türkiye and Syria to distribute emergency relief. In Türkiye, families are receiving cash assistance to help pay for vital aid including food, water, and medicine. In Syria, families are being provided with their most immediate needs. And in coming months, we plan to focus on long-term development aid. Join us and help support your brothers and sisters across Türkiye and Syria in their time of need.
