We are proud to have helped to coordinate this statement.

[British Red Cross 🧡 @BritishRedCross]

We are not collecting clothing, blankets, or other items, as cash is the quickest, safest, and most flexible way to support our work in Türkiye (#Turkey) and #Syria right now.

Here's why ⬇

[Jeremy Smith @jezzsmith]

A 70 year old woman has been #rescued after more than 72 hours trapped under the rubble in #Turkiye in freezing conditions. @RedCrossLebanon & @RedCrescent search & rescue volunteers working non-stop for these miracles! Hoping for more #earthquake #redcross @BritishRedCross

[Emergencies Partnership @vcsep]

Please consider cash before goods, unless there are clear, supported & person-centre routes that are well aligned with needs identified. @DECappeal have launched the #TurkeySyriaAppeal, with the UK govt pledging to match up to £5 million donated by the public to this appeal.

[Disasters Emergency Committee @decappeal]

Devastating earthquakes have killed thousands of people in Turkey and Syria. Hundreds of buildings have been destroyed leaving survivors facing freezing conditions. People need help now. Please donate.

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

Turkish Red Crescent & Syrian Arab Red Crescent teams are already helping with search & rescue missions following the earthquake in #Turkey & #Syria. The @britishredcross is appealing for funds to support the huge relief effort.  Donate here if you can: https://t.co/JPMeATcPzb

[IFRC Europe @IFRC_Europe]

169 staff and 144 volunteers of the Turkish @RedCrescent are on the ground supporting people affected by the earthquake with:

🟥 3 mobile kitchens
🟥 71 catering vehicles
🟥 1,080 tents
🟥 15,429 blankets

The shipments continue non-stop.

[Syrian Red Crescent @SYRedCrescent]

The @SYRedCrescent #volunteers are at every affected site in #Hama, #Aleppo and #Lattakia, responding to the people in the buildings that #collapsed as a result to the #earthquake that hit #Syria at dawn today.

[British Red Cross 🧡 @BritishRedCross]

We've launched an emergency appeal after a devastating earthquake struck #Turkey & #Syria this morning.

Search & rescue missions are underway, but bad weather & aftershocks are hampering efforts.

Thousands are in urgent need of help: https://t.co/ZaOKx6QUse

[Mike Adamson @MichaelAdamson5]

Our thoughts are with the families of those impacted. The volunteers and staff of Turkish @RedCrescent and @SYRedCrescent are already responding at scale.
We have launched an appeal.

Eddie's story of the Canvey floods completely stopped us in our tracks. https://t.co/GbxFc5pJ74

She was just 6 when the floods struck in 1953. Eddie lost her 4-yr-old sister Judith - and along with that, her own childhood as well.

Click above to hear Eddie's incredible story.

[BBC Essex @BBCEssex]

A plaque is unveiled on Canvey Island to commemorate those who lost their lives in the 1953 floods, 70yrs ago today.

Tune into BBC Essex to hear @sadienine broadcasting a special programme live from Canvey, including speaking to survivors of the floods. https://t.co/xA5VVIwtQ2
