Turkiye and Syria are facing massive damage, suffering, and loss of life after a 7.8 earthquake earlier this month. To save lives, coordinate all those who want to help, provide critical health and human services, requires a huge coordinated effort. The United Nations plays a lead role in this coordination and all actors are committed to following the humanitarian principles — all in service of helping others. Today, Mallory breaks down how international humanitarian aid is organized and how you can help the people of Turkiye and Syria.
