Two devastating earthquakes hit Syria and Turkey on Monday with thousands of people forced from their homes and over 2,000 people reported killed, according to Save the Children. The earthquakes resulted in over 2,800 buildings collapsing, including hospitals, schools, and government buildings.

Save the Children is responding to the emergency, working to assess the needs of children and their families and providing support, including winterization and emergency kits. The organization is working closely with partner organizations in Syria and the government in Turkey to provide immediate support to the affected communities. The international community is urged to provide support to the thousands of people in need.
