Earthquake Rocks Communities in Türkiye

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake has impacted families across Türkiye and Syria. The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is delivering emergency food assistance to communities that have been hit hardest by the quake.

Bordered by five countries, Türkiye hosts the largest refugee population in the world – including over 3 million Syrian refugees. Although most refugees live alongside the host population, there are still 45,000 living in camps located in the southeast close to the epicenter of the quakes.
