In response to the multiple earthquakes that rocked southern Türkiye and northern Syria, the United Nations announced a 25 million US dollar grant from the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to help kick-start the humanitarian response.
Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric today (7 Feb) told reporters in New York that the CERF funds “will help provide urgent life-saving assistance in the region.”
