MFA Spokesperson's Comments on Singapore's Humanitarian Assistance for Communities Affected by the Earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria

24 February 2023

In response to the devastating earthquakes in south-eastern Türkiye and northern Syria on 6 February 2023, Singapore will contribute US$100,000 to Türkiye through the Singapore Red Cross and US$100,000 to the United Nations Humanitarian Appeal for Syria which was launched on 14 February 2023. The contributions will support the ongoing humanitarian relief and reconstruction efforts in these two countries.

 

We hope that these contributions will help the peoples of Türkiye and Syria recover from the aftermath of this devastating disaster. Singapore’s latest contributions follow the recently concluded deployment of a 68-member rescue team from the Singapore Civil Defence Force to the region.
