According to the report, 2.5 million children in Turkiye, and another 3.7 million in neighbouring Syria, need continued humanitarian assistance, the UN agency said, appealing for greater support for affected families.

Truckloads of donations destined for earthquake victims in Turkiye were set on fire by arsonists at a Turkish supermarket near Dortmund, western Germany. The arsonists were also filmed pulling down a Turkish flag which they threw into the blaze, which caused around $21,500 in damage

Jurists, leaders and scholars across the world of Islam have issued fatwa (religious statement) demanding Muslims to pay their annual Zakat for the people affected in the recent powerful quake in Turkey and Syria.

Supreme Leader of Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has expressed sympathy with the quake-stricken people in Syria and Turkey and vowed continuation of help for both countries.
