On the morning of February 6, 2023, an earthquake occurred in northern Syria, forcing many residents to flee to temporary shelters that were not prepared to receive these displaced numbers. Organizations responded to this situation and covered all sectors such as health, food security, and WASH. This response demonstrated the integration between organizations to secure the basic needs of people, and the services provided were of high quality and arrived in a timely manner.
