“God is our refuge and strength … though the mountains shake.” - Psalm 46:1-3 |
The scale of the disaster facing Syria and Turkey after the Feb. 6 earthquake is becoming clearer. The 7.8-magnitude quake and its aftershocks have left more than 11,000 people dead and thousands more injured; these numbers will rise as search and rescue continues. Buildings have been reduced to rubble, and roads and bridges have been severely damaged, resulting in dangerous conditions for first responders. In some places, such as Aleppo, this destruction is compounding the damage of the now 11-year war in Syria.
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is providing emergency relief and short-term recovery in the impacted areas through long-standing partners in Syria, in addition to ACT Alliance members in Syria and Turkey, all of whom are already on the ground. PDA will remain active throughout the entire recovery process, accompanying our partners in the area as they determine long-term program needs and providing financial support for building and resilience. |

La magnitud del desastre que enfrentan Siria y Turquía después del terremoto del 6 de febrero se está volviendo más clara. El terremoto de magnitud 7.8 y sus réplicas han dejado más de 11.000 personas muertas y miles de heridos; estas cifras aumentarán a medida que continúen las labores de búsqueda y rescate. Los edificios se han reducido a escombros, y las carreteras y puentes han sido severamente dañados, lo que resulta en condiciones peligrosas para los socorristas. En algunos lugares, como Alepo, esta destrucción está agravando el daño de la guerra de 11 años en Siria. |
