On February 6th, Türkiye and Syria were struck by a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that left tens of thousands dead and injured, including hundreds of teachers, support staff, academics and other education workers. Hundreds of schools were destroyed, as well as several education union buildings in both countries, and the education of millions of students has been severely disrupted. People living in the affected areas struggle to meet their most basic needs, such as food, water, and hygiene. Legal support, health, and psychosocial support are sorely needed.
