WFP Turkiye Earthquake Emergency Response One-Pager (February – May 2023) – Türkiye

Following the twin earthquakes that struck Türkiye on 6 February 2023, WFP initiated its emergency response in the country’s southeast to meet the needs of the affected population. In collaboration with a broad network of partners such as the Government, as well as local and international NGOs, the response included food assistance which, at a later stage, was complemented with cash assistance and early recovery initiatives.

Within the framework of this response, WFP also led the logistics and emergency telecommunications sectors on behalf of the humanitarian community while also co-leading the food and livelihoods sector.
