Turkey and Syria Relief Efforts

Help support relief efforts in Türkiye and Syria

The 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck southern Türkiye and northern Syria on February 6 killed tens of thousands of people, flattened city blocks, and sent the region into a monumental recovery effort. Freezing weather conditions are further endangering the survivors in the region. The Office of International Affairs is committed to supporting relief efforts from across the IUPUI and IU campuses.  

Indiana University Turkish Students and the Turkish community in Bloomington initiated a fundraising effort to support the victims in Türkiye. There are also several other organizations helping in relief efforts listed below.
