Humanitarian response to the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Various countries and organizations have responded to the 6 February 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquakes. At least 105 countries and 16 international organizations had pledged support for victims of the earthquake, including humanitarian aid.[1] More than eleven countries provided teams with search and rescue dogs to locate victims under the debris[2] and monetary support was offered as well.[3][4][5]

However, outreach to Syria was "less enthusiastic" than that to Turkey, mostly because of the international sanctions on the country and because of government limitations imposed on humanitarian organizations from operating outside areas of their control.[6][7][8]
