The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) today announced that donations to the Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal have reached an incredible £151.8 million, six months on from the devastating earthquakes that killed at least 58,000 people across southern Turkey (now known as Türkiye) and northwest Syria. The total includes £5 million matched by the UK Government through the Aid Match scheme.

Donations from the UK public are helping farmers restart their livelihoods following last year’s devastating floods, and face up to an uncertain future.
