All donations to the "National Children's Network" until the end of February will help the affected children and families in the Arsuz municipality - one of the most affected areas near the border with Syria, where there are many refugees and where aid is more difficult to reach.

The donations will reach Turkey with the direct partnership of the international organization ECPAT International, which works on the ground in Turkey and Syria, is in contact with the mayor of the municipality and is currently providing humanitarian aid there.

In times of such tragedy, empathy and humanity transcend boundaries and differences and unite us. Let's reach out to those who are suffering,” calls the organization.

You can help at dari.nmd.bg.

UNICEF started a donation campaign.

Thousands died under the rubble of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Donate to help the children affected by the earthquakes,” the international organization is urging.

To help Syria, you can turn to the Syrian volunteer units, more popularly known as the "White Helmets".
