聯合國發起10億美元賑災活動,以協助土耳其強震災民。這場地震造成數萬人喪生,還有數百萬人亟需援助。
法新社報導,聯合國秘書長古特瑞斯(Antonio Guterres)在聲明中說,這筆資金將為520萬人提供為期3個月的人道救濟。
Today we are launching an appeal to help secure desperately needed relief for nearly 5 million Syrians impacted by the earthquake.
I urge the international community to fully fund this effort without delay.
This is a moment for unity, humanity & action. https://t.co/ZocSqvTc9k

他說,這筆錢「能讓救援組織迅速擴大重要的援助工作」,包括在食品安全、保護、教育、供水和住所等方面。
古特瑞斯說:「需求很龐大,民眾正在受苦,沒有時間可浪費了。」
The @UN has raced to respond to the devastating earthquake that struck Türkiye & Syria.
That's why I have asked @UNReliefChief to travel to affected areas this weekend.
By early next week, we'll launch a flash appeal for donor support for those affected in Syria. pic.twitter.com/JuMWM7xSOL
