Turkey Earthquake Aid / Deprem Yardımları
On February 6, 2023, twin earthquakes (Mw 7.7 at 04:17 and Mw 7.6 at 13:24) struck southern and eastern Türkiye, causing extensive damage and loss of life.
Anything for A Smile volunteers were on the ground within 10 hours bringing aid to the earthquake victims. In the following weeks, we delivered 25 large trucks of aid with essentials like food boxes, blankets, and clothing for survivors.
One of the 11 provinces affected by the February 6 Earthquake was the province of Adana, where our association is located. Although there was a lot of loss and destruction in our city, the destruction was much greater in our surrounding provinces, especially Hatay and Kahrmanmaraş, where we focused our relief efforts.
For four months, we delivered aid to Antakya, Samandağ, Maraş, Nurdağı, İslahiye and Osmaniye. Over 3000 food parcels, 500 beds, 1500 hygiene packages, 10 boxes of women's undergarments and other necessities. Twenty-five truckloads of food and aid were delivered. Thank you for working with us to make a difference in the lives of thousands of the earthquake victims who are extremely grateful for the help you sent them.
