In response to the February 2023 earthquake that struck Türkiye and northwestern Syria, we collaborated with the Turkish Red Crescent (TRC) to provide temporary shelters to those affected by the disaster.Â
200 shelters were shipped from Mersin Sea Port to Cilvegözü Border Gate (Bab-Al Hawa) and successfully reached the TRC’s warehouse in Idlib, Syria.Â
Twenty builders received a two-day training session covering shelter assembly, safety procedures, and site management. The installation started in September 2023 at previously designated camps. By November 7, 2023, all 200 Relief Housing Units (RHUs) were installed, allowing families to settle into the camps.Â
