Social Media Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 The top humanitarian aid agency in the US government has pledged $85m (£70m) in urgent life-saving relief for earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) funding will go towards shelter, cold weather supplies, food, water and healthcare. The moves comes as countries around the world send search crews and aid to the region, where over 20,000 have died. Rescuers say supplies are needed now or more people will die from the cold. In a statement on Thursday, USAID said it is also providing "hygiene and sanitation assistance to keep people safe and healthy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
