The devastating earthquakes that struck Syria and Türkiye in February 2023 left a lasting impact on the communities in Aleppo and Latakia. Over 138,000 households and 690,000 individuals were affected, with widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure. Many families, like Amer’s and Aysha’s, witnessed the firsthand destruction of their homes and neighbourhoods.
Your support provided essential aid like food parcels, hygiene kits, and other necessities for families in need. Ready-to-eat food parcels (RTEs) and food baskets were distributed to 2,220 households. The ALFA Project has reached close to 11,000 individuals with food assistance, families like Amer’s and Aysha’s.
Amer, a father of two young boys with another on the way, was living a stable life in Latakia before the earthquake. He owned a small business and provided for his family. The night of the disaster, Amer and his family narrowly escaped their collapsing home, watching as it crumbled behind them. He has been forced to work double shifts as a construction worker to support his growing family.
With the help of ALFA, Amer’s family has been able to access essential food and supplies. Thanks to your generous support, they have been able to provide for their children and ensure their well-being during this difficult time, including the growth of their newest child.
Aysha, a widow living in Latakia, had experienced a lifetime of challenges before the earthquake, having lost a son in the ongoing conflict. When the earthquake struck, Aysha and her entire family were trapped under the rubble of the collapsed home. Tragically, she lost her husband, daughter-in-law, and four grandsons. With only two surviving sons, working tirelessly, Aysha’s family struggled to meet their basic needs. The support of the ALFA Project has helped Aysha and her family to receive essential food assistance.
Amer and Aysha’s stories highlight the resilience and strength of the Syrian people. Despite facing unimaginable hardship, they have persevered. Stories like these show us the impact of your support in disasters. Your generosity is helping to provide essential aid, rebuild communities, and empower individuals to overcome adversity, even a year later, helping them to continue writing their stories.
In instances where donations exceed the project’s requirements or when local conditions impede program implementation, ADRA Canada will reallocate the funds to similar activities to assist those in greatest need.
