The EU is set to host the Donors' Conference in Brussels aiming to rally funds for the victims of the Türkiye and Syria earthquake
The EU - which is hosting the conference in coordination with Türkiye's government - says it plans to make a"significant pledge" for further relief, recovery, and reconstruction.
Millions were displaced and a preliminary estimate from the United Nations says the damage in Türkiye alone could amount to over $100 billion. The UN says the appeal for Türkiye has so far only been 16 percent fulfilled, while the figure for Syria stands at 72 percent. While international rescue teams and aid flowed quickly to Türkiye, humanitarian organisations faced major hurdles reaching stricken areas in northern Syria.
