Following the devastating earthquakes of 6 February 2023, the IFRC and its membership are raising CHF 750 million in support of the Turkish Red Crescent's response (CHF 400 million of which will be raised by the IFRC Secretariat). This is the second largest earthquake in Türkiye in the last century, and the most significant to strike the country’s southeast region in hundreds of years. The Turkish Red Crescent aims to support around 1,250,000 people who have been severely affected, mainly due to the demolition of their houses.
