The latest death toll from Monday’s catastrophic earthquake in Turkey and Syria stands at 8,364 and the numbers are expected to increase significantly, Syria’s White Helmets says.
Many charities are on the ground helping with recovery efforts, but also with providing shelter, food and medical supplies.
They have launched an earthquake appeal, and say that by partnering with
other agencies it can increase the percentage of money which directly
helps those affected.
It says it will not deduct more than 10% of donations raised to cover “indirect essential costs such as donation transaction costs, receipting donations, IT costs, administrating the distribution of donations to member organisations, measurement and evaluation, reporting and overheads related to the emergency”.
