Save the Children Statement: Another Earthquake hits southern Türkiye and northern Syria

Save the Children and partner organisations are setting up an emergency response in Gezira state, Sudan, to support families who have been uprooted from their homes and are now displaced. They will be providing emergency medical aid through a mobile clinic, running child protection activities and child friendly space, and distributing essential hygiene items to families. Save the Children is working in 9 Internally Displaced Person’s gathering points 50 miles south of Khartoum centre. The response will be scaling up as the crisis continues to unfold.

Emir*, a 25-year-old displaced from his rural home, has spent the past seven years in an Idlib camp with his family, including his 9-month-old son Salman*. Struggling to find adequate work and facing harsh winter conditions, Emir* worries about Salman's* health and the lack of resources to keep him warm and healthy. Before the conflict, their life was more self-sufficient, but now the conditions they are living in are becoming increasingly difficult. Save the Children and Hand in Hand are providing essential support for the upcoming winter, including blankets, heaters, and clothing, to help families like Emir's* cope with the challenges of displacement and cold weather.
