Earthquake Relief for Turkey Project

Date: February 2023

Theme: Humanitarian Aid,  Disaster Response

Following the devastating earthquake on February 6, 2023, it was crucial to rapidly address the needs of the affected region due to the destruction caused by the earthquake. However, delivering in-kind relief materials to the region, ensuring transportation to the region, and overall coordination for supporters were quite challenging due to the devastation caused by the earthquake. 

In this context, considering the diversity and urgency of the needs, Needs Map team, with the support of the EBRD, procured relief materials from the local businesses in the early days of the earthquake and delivered them to households in need. Thus, thanks to the donations from the EBRD, basic food support, hygiene material support (soap, diapers, pads, etc.), clothing support (underwear, t-shirts, tracksuits), tents for shelter, and container city construction materials for housing were delivered to the region.
