Disasters Emergency Committee -Turkey-Syria Earthquake appeal
Supporting the relief effort in Turkey and Syria
Devastating earthquakes have killed thousands of people in Turkey and Syria. Hundreds of buildings have been destroyed leaving survivors facing freezing conditions. Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) charities and their local partners are among the first responders, working with locally-led relief efforts. Immediate priorities are medical treatment for the injured, shelter for those who have lost their homes, heaters for spaces and winter kits with blankets, and warm clothes, and ensuring people have food and clean water.
Post Office branches can accept donations for the DEC by cash or card.
