Two catastrophic earthquakes struck Türkiye and Syria on 6 February, killing thousands of people and injuring many more, with the numbers expected to rise as rescuers scramble to pull survivors from the rubble in freezing conditions.

Among those impacted are pregnant women who need access to maternal health services.

Providing reproductive health services to survivors in Türkiye, in addition to distributing dignity kits that contain basic hygiene items has begun. In Syria, survivors are receiving blankets and warm clothes as well as dignity kits, while mobile health teams and field clinics have been deployed to provide reproductive health and protection services in the worst-hit areas.
