This disaster has devastated many displaced families who were already vulnerable following years of Syrian conflict, as well the communities who so generously hosted them. The quick response of XTX Markets will help save and protect lives immediately, and we are hugely grateful for their generosity. UNHCR teams are also conducting assessments to quickly prepare emergency response operations for the weeks and months ahead.Įmma Cherniavsky, CEO at UK for UNHCR, said: "Amid the horrendous destruction and bitter cold conditions, these first days are critical. In Türkiye, UNHCR is helping the national government led humanitarian response, including supporting the provision of emergency shelter, as well as basic survival items such as blankets and cooking sets. In Syria, UNHCR is already working with local partners, distributing emergency supplies, such as high-thermal blankets, mattresses and other lifesaving items, and is working to mobilise additional supplies for the region. This is the largest UK private sector donation received by the appeal to date, and will support urgent relief efforts underway by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which has teams deployed in both countries. In response to the devastating earthquakes which struck Türkiye and Syria this week, XTX Markets is immediately donating £1 million to UK for UNHCR's Türkiye Syria Earthquake emergency appeal in order to help survivors.
