Or you may send your donation to your local Red Cross or to the American Red Cross, P.O. The Red Cross is a nonprofit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to deliver its mission. Your donation enables the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from this disaster. The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides comfort to victims of disasters; supplies about 40% of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members and their families. Increased global support and solidarity to deliver humanitarian assistance are essential in the weeks and months of recovery ahead. At this time, the American Red Cross has not received blood product requests for Türkiye or Syria – and therefore is not collecting blood in the U.S. In Türkiye, teams from the Turkish Red Crescent deployed in ten affected provinces in the south and southeast regions with stocks of food and basic aid items such as tents and blankets to support the injured and evacuated. The American Red Cross will ship blood products outside of the U.S. Instead, they are focusing on the immediate needs of those affected by the earthquakes, supporting search and rescue efforts, providing meals and distributing relief packages to people who have been impacted. The global Red Cross and Red Crescent network launched into action Monday, February 6. Those interested are asked to send donations of blankets, tents, sleeping bags, pocket warmers, winter clothing and over-the-counter medications for flu, cold, and pain killers to Turkish Embassy and Turkish Consulates across the U.S. The vulnerable living conditions, particularly in Syria, are even further stretched due to the decade-long war.
