Many of these affected communities were located in remote, mountainous regions.
Khalsa Aid has identified 100 families in dire need of shelter, and we’re committed to delivering this assistance in the upcoming weeks. For the latest updates on our relief efforts in Turkey, please follow Khalsa Aid on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
