The Bulgarian Red Cross announced today the first transfer, through the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC), to help the victims of the catastrophic earthquakes on February 6, 2023. The amounts requested are BGN 480,000 for Turkey and BGN 320,000. for Syria. The funds were collected through the National Donation Campaign of the BRC, which was announced already in the first hours of the incident. After receiving codes to confirm the transfers, the funds donated by the Bulgarian society will become direct aid for the victims in both countries.

As of today, the Appeal has been revised and its value is 200 million Swiss francs - MDRSY099 - 07/02/2023 for 80 million in support of victims through the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and MDRTR004 - 07/02/2023 for 120 million for the Turkish Red Crescent.
