On February 6, 2023, a major earthquake struck the Turkey-Syria border, followed by hundreds of aftershocks, resulting in building collapses and leaving hundreds of thousands of people displaced. The widespread destruction caused by the powerful earthquake has created an urgent need for humanitarian assistance to the affected population. The Group supported the UNHCR in publishing the donation appeals in multiple local Hong Kong newspapers. The aim is to encourage the public and citizens to generously contribute and provide assistance to the affected victims from afar. The funds raised will support disaster relief and post-disaster recovery efforts, enabling the affected population to receive aid supplies and hygiene kits from the UNHCR.
