How to support relief efforts in Turkey 


We are devastated by the unfolding news from the earthquake that struck much of southern Turkey and northern Syria and has taken the lives of more than 30,000 people. We reached out to our chapter hosts in the region to see how we can help. All of our volunteer organizers in Istanbul, Antalya, Izmir, and Bodrum are safe and accounted for, and many of them are participating in relief efforts for the affected parts of the country. Our volunteer hosts Ilgın of Antalya, Emre of Istanbul, and Nazey of Izmir shared a list of organizations you can contribute to, as well as information you can share. Read our blogpost to learn how to support search-and-rescue and logistics coordination efforts on the ground.
