We have gathered resources to help those affected by the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria this month.

What happened

The devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have created a human tragedy that is hard to comprehend, with over 22,000 dead, tens of thousands injured and missing, and hundreds of thousands without homes, food and clothing. Tragically, it is estimated that the death toll may rise even further in the coming weeks, compounded by the freezing cold and disrupted access to the region, despite the dire needs. Our heart breaks for the victims and families that have lost loved ones, their homes and their livelihoods.

How to help

As this crisis continues to unfold, many are moved to help. We are offering our QU family a list of organizations mobilizing humanitarian relief efforts to those most affected in the region. If you are able, please consider donating to one of the organizations below.
