Relief Supplies for the Earthquake Victims in Aleppo

Immediately after the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria in February 2023, Cap Anamur / German Emergency Doctors e.V. delivered relief supplies to Aleppo for the earthquake victims.

Cap Anamur / German Emergency Doctors e.V. provides emergency aid for earthquake victims in Syria

The devastating earthquake in the Syrian-Turkish border region has already claimed more than 10,000 lives in the first two days. While international aid is already starting in the Turkish areas, people in the Syrian regions are receiving hardly any help.

The people in Syria urgently need help

Therefore, Cap Anamur has decided to provide relief supplies to the earthquake victims in the northern regions of Syria. Since the border crossings from Turkey to Syria cannot be used, we enter the country via Lebanon.

During the first delivery, food, blankets and clothing were distributed. During the first transport, our staff then identified further needs for those affected.

More food, warm clothing for children, baby food and diapers as well as hygiene items are currently urgently needed.

Volker Rath, chairman of the board of Cap Anamur, accompanied the 2nd delivery to Syria. On site, he made a personal impression of the situation in order to identify further assistance.
