Emergency WASH services provision  rehabilitation of the most damaged WASH infrastructure by the Earthquake in Jisr-Ash-Shugur and Al- Janudiyeh communities ltp class="" style=""gtSince the 6ltsupgtthlt/supgt of February 2023, more than 30,000
people have been killed and tens of thousands injured after a magnitude 7.8
earthquake struck Turkey and Syria. The death toll across Turkey and Syria has
reached as of 13 February 2023, more than 34,900 deaths have been reported:
over 29,600 in Turkey and 5,300 in Syria. A large winter storm has hampered
rescue efforts, dropping snow on the ruins, and bringing plummeting
temperatures. Due to the freezing temperatures in the area, survivors, especially
those trapped under rubble, are at great risk of hypothermia. lt/pgt

ltp class="MsoNormal"gtThose efforts in Syria have been complicated by a
long-running civil war and the challenges of getting aid into rebel-held
northern areas. The earthquake is estimated to have caused $84.1 billion worth
of damage, making it the fourth-costliest earthquake and one of the
costliest natural disasters ever recorded. In addition to vast loads of
death cases, most of the affected people are in severe need of water supply,
rehabilitation of destroyed water facilities, and surely rehabilitation and
maintenance for the WASH facilities damaged by the earthquake, especially the high-water
tanks.lt/pgt
