Support Turkey, Syrian Earthquake Disaster Relief
As of February 13, there are more than 35,000 confirmed deaths from the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria several days ago, as rescue teams’ hopes diminish and bad weather leaves many survivors stranded. These were the strongest earthquakes to hit the region in a century.
The Turkish Embassy has shared this list of urgent in-kind assistance items that are desperately needed in the region.
Loudoun Chamber member Sky Marble and Granite has created an Amazon list. Sky Marble and Granite will deliver these to the Turkish Embassy in Washington.
