Thousands of people are homeless after a deadly 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Turkey in late October. To help such families Convoy of Hope Europe has rushed funds to an in-country partner who will purchase winterized tents for many displaced families.

“The immediate needs are temporary shelter,” says Albert Walsweer, European director for COHEU. “Although the government in Turkey has been able to help many of the survivors, they have now asked for assistance as temperatures continue to drop.”
According to Walsweer, COHEU will continue to asses the situation and explore opportunities to provide for displaced families.
