On the anniversary of the earthquake that hit Syria and Türkiye on 6 February 2023, we want to thank the staff and volunteers of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and the Turkish Red Crescent, who have carried out extraordinary work in the wake of the disaster and continue to tirelessly support the affected communities.
Mental health and psychosocial support interventions are crucial in helping families and communities recover, adapt, and rebuild after disasters. Staff and volunteers are part of affected communities and are the lifeblood of our work; they deserve our respect, gratitude, and support.
