Earthquakes in Turkiye and Syria 2023: PBV Emergency Relief Fund Launched
Street fundraising by the volunteers of NGO Peace Boat in Tokyo
As widely reported in Japan and elsewhere, communities in Turkiye (formerly known as Turkey) and Syria experienced very strong earthquakes on February 6. Extensive damage has been reported in both countries. More than a hundred aftershocks have been recorded as of February 7. Rescue efforts are still underway in snowy conditions.
Peace Boat Disaster Relief (PBV) has been in touch with local NGOs and UN agencies to gather information on the damage and launched an emergency relief fund to support those in the affected communities.
More information will be shared on this page shortly.
We seek your generous support to help those in dire situations. Thank you very much.
