[Tirmidhi 1930]
On February 6th, 2023, a devastating earthquake struck southeast Turkey, impacting 10 cities—including Kahramanmaraş, Hatay, Gaziantep, and Adıyaman. Later that day, a second powerful quake hit the Elbistan district of Kahramanmaraş, 80 miles north of Gaziantep. With over 55,000 lives lost, 130,000 injured, and millions displaced, the scale of suffering was unimaginable. In the face of this tragedy, we knew it was our duty to take action.
At Mercy Appeal, our team quickly mobilised to raise urgent support for those affected. Through the generosity of our donors, we were able to provide essential relief—such as food, clean water, and other basic necessities—to families facing unimaginable hardship.
We are committed to honouring your generosity and doing our best to fulfil your requests. Mercy Appeal will make every effort to allocate your donation as specified. However, if circumstances prevent us from using your contribution as intended, we will redirect it to similar life-saving aid efforts in the same country or other regions where help is needed most.
Mercy Appeal – 100% of your donation reaches those in need. No cuts. Just compassion!
