When the 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit Türkiye and Syria in February of 2023, once again the BFAD network responded to the call to serve our brothers and sisters.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance (OCHA), the earthquake left 40,642 people dead and 108,000 injured.
BFAD responded immediately by activating a call to mobilize resources. The network mobilized its resources to provide shelter, food packages, hygiene kits, and warm clothing for the winter, among other critical services. Our Hungarian Baptist Aid partners, who are part of the BFAD network, were among the first responders, conducting a search and rescue mission that helped to identify people trapped under the rubbles.
