Half a million euros in emergency humanitarian aid for Türkiye and Syria
The Government of the Republic of Slovenia has released half a million euros in emergency humanitarian aid to help mitigate the consequences of the earthquake that struck the Republic of Türkiye and the Syrian Arab Republic on 6 February 2023. Of this amount, EUR 100,000 was contributed through the Slovenian Caritas, the strategic partner of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs in emergency humanitarian response, for the purchase of blankets, clothes and food packages.
We are allocating EUR 200,000 thousand to the cross-border fund for Syria managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) to help the people of the Syrian Arab Republic, and EUR 200,000 thousand through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to help the people in the affected parts of Türkiye.
