One year after the earthquake in Türkiye and Syria: Help is still needed. How is Caritas Czech Republic supporting the affected people?
When the devastating earthquake struck Türkiye and Syria in the early hours of 6 February last year, 48-year-old Songül lost everything in a matter of seconds. "Our house was completely destroyed in the earthquake. The tremors kept repeating. I hope we will never experience such fear and terror again," says Songül in the Turkish city of Malatya. The earthquake took the lives of nearly 60,000 people, and millions more lost their homes. A year after the earthquake, hundreds of thousands of people are still in temporary shelter and in need of help. How is Caritas Czech Republic supporting them?
