Earthquake Relief- Interfaith Event
An Interfaith Earthquake Relief gathering will begin at 7 p.m. February 20th at the Muslim Unity Center, 1830 W. Square Lake Road in Bloomfield Hills. This event will focus on survivors of the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria.
The number of people killed in the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that devastated parts of southern Turkey and northern Syria on February 6th continues to rise, according to the Associated Press. The news outlet reported that Turkey’s disaster management agency, AFAD, recently revised the country’s death toll to 36,187. That pushed the combined reported death toll for Turkey and Syria to 39,875.
Earthquake victims are faced with new and unimaginable difficulties that may be temporary or lifelong. These communities often struggle to recover and are faced with death, illness, lack of food and water, poor sanitary conditions, and homelessness.
Together, we can aid in their recovery.
