Salaam, Yesterday, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck Syria and Turkey – just weeks after the Feb. 6, 2023, 7.8 magnitude earthquake that has killed tens of thousands and caused mass damage to the region. There is no way around it: the situation is dire.
We at Emgage have been following the situation closely and wanted to share with you our work so far:
I appeared on CNN’s GPS with Fareed Zakaria this weekend to discuss the difficulty in getting humanitarian aid to the victims of the earthquake. You can watch the interview here: |
I have written an op ed in The Washington Post, covering the impact that the Assad regime and Russian obstructionism has had on delivering aid.
This work has been covered in numerous outlets, including The Intercept, Detroit Free Press, and Vox.
What is happening in Syria and Turkey right now is an absolute tragedy. The communities affected have been through so much trauma already, and we call upon the U.S. government to ensure that all U.S. assistance going to Syria is channeled to those directly affected. For those looking to aid the victims of the earthquakes, here are some organizations currently seeking support: Thank you for any help you can give to the victims. |
