<ul class="summary-list"><li>Here is a list of organizations that need support to assist victims of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.</li><li>Donating money is the most efficient way to aid survivors.</li></ul>While people slept, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-turkey-syria-look-like-after-powerful-earthquake-kills-thousands-2023-2">rocked and devastated</a> southern Turkey and northwestern Syria on Monday, only to be followed hours later by 7.5 magnitude aftershock.Thousands are dead and tens of thousands more in desperate need of aid in a region that was already home to millions of people who have been displaced by war.Dozens of organizations are already providing on-the-ground assistance. While you may be tempted to try and donate goods, what these groups need now is money. Here are a few that you can help:<h2>Syrian American Medical Society</h2>Volunteer medical workers with the <a href="https://www.sams-usa.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Syrian American Medical Society</a> have for years traveled to Syria and its neighboring countries to treat the victims of war. In the immediate aftermath of Monday's dual earthquakes, the group's own medical facilities in Syria — which have frequently been targeted in airstrikes from Russia and its Syrian regime ally — aided more than 850 people.<h2>Turkish Red Crescent</h2><a href="https://www.kizilay.org.tr/Bagis">The Turkish Red Crescent</a>, the largest humanitarian organization in Turkey, is deploying staff and mobile kitchen trucks to distribute food to survivors in Gaziantep and elsewhere in the south of the country, as well as provide blankets, tents, and beds, the group said Monday. Staff are also delivering donated blood to local medical facilities.<h2>The White Helmets</h2>For a decade now, volunteer rescue workers have pulled people from buildings in Syria destroyed by Russian and regime airstrikes. Now members of <a href="https://www.whitehelmets.org/en/">The White Helmets</a> are pulling survivors from the rubble of buildings destroyed by Monday's earthquake in northwest Syria, one of the last pockets of the country controlled by armed opposition groups.<h2>International Rescue Committee</h2>"This earthquake is yet another devastating blow to so many vulnerable populations already struggling after years of conflict," Tanya Evans of the <a href="https://help.rescue.org/donate?ms=ws_banr_UKMM_20231001&amp;initialms=ws_banr_UKMM_20231001" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">International Rescue Committee</a> said in a statement on Monday. In Syria, hospitals were already grappling with a cholera outbreak and the latest disaster will only increase the needs on the ground. The IRC will continue to help with everything from medical care to trauma counseling.<h2>Molham Team</h2>Many inhabitants of Syria's northwest Idlib province have been displaced multiple times since 2011, when the conflict in Syria began, some living in homes that had been damaged by airstrikes — and which collapsed on Monday. Volunteers with <a href="https://molhamteam.com/en/campaigns/439" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Molham Team</a>, founded by Syrian college students in the wake of the Syrian revolution, are now setting up shelters and distributing food and blankets to those made homeless once again.<h2>Project HOPE</h2>For more than 60 years, <a href="https://www.projecthope.org/earthquake-in-turkey-syria-how-to-help/02/2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Project HOPE</a> has aided victims of natural disasters, working through local humanitarian organizations and medical workers to provide immediate and long-term assistance.Radih Torbay, the group's president, said Monday that he anticipates a "very arduous and long road to recovery" in both Turkey and Syria. "As temperatures hover near freezing and airport closures and snowstorms delay access," he said, "Project HOPE has deployed an emergency response effort and is working with local and international partners to respond to the immediate needs."<h2>Save the Children</h2><a href="https://support.savethechildren.org/site/Donation2?df_id=1620&amp;1620.donation=form1">Save the Children</a>, active in both Turkey and northwest Syria, will be distributing blankets and winter clothing in the days ahead, the group said Monday, as well as support winterization efforts for those dwellings that remain standing."[I]t's crucial that the international community acts now to provide support to the thousands of people in need," Sasha Ekanayake, the group's director of operations in Turkey, said in a statement.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday voted against mourning the 50,000 dead in the Turkey-Syria earthquake.</li><li>She and her GOP colleague Thomas Massie were the two lawmakers who voted no on the matter.</li></ul>Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of two House Republicans who voted against mourning the 50,000 people killed in the deadly earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.Greene and her GOP colleague, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, were the <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023120">two nays</a> on a House resolution on the Turkey-Syria earthquakes. The bill, H.R. 132, was introduced by South Carolina Republican congressman Rep. Joe Wilson on February 17.According to the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/132" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bill's summary</a>, the House resolution "mourns the loss of life" in Turkey and Syria after the quakes. "The resolution also (1) applauds the work of humanitarian aid and rescue workers on the ground; and (2) condemns the efforts by the Assad regime of Syria to exploit the disaster to evade international pressure and accountability, including by preventing the United Nations from providing assistance through border crossings between Turkey and Syria," the summary reads.Greene and Massie were the <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023120">two nays</a> in the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/132/all-actions?overview=closed&amp;q=%7B%22roll-call-vote%22%3A%22all%22%7D">roll call vote</a> held on February 27. Even her colleagues, Reps. Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz — who are known for their controversial views — voted yes. The bill passed 414 to 2. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/earthquake-death-toll-surpasses-50000-turkey-syria-2023-02-24/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">More than 50,000 people</a> were killed after a <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-turkey-syria-look-like-after-powerful-earthquake-kills-thousands-2023-2" rel="">7.8-magnitude earthquake</a> hit Turkey and Syria on February 6. <a href="https://www.insider.com/videos-photos-78-magnitude-turkey-earthquake-2023-2">Over 160,000 buildings</a> collapsed or were severely damaged in the disaster, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-issues-earthquake-rebuilding-rules-after-millions-left-homeless-2023-02-24/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Reuters</a> reported. The <a href="https://www.undp.org/press-releases/millions-tons-earthquake-rubble-await-removal-turkiye" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UNDP</a> further estimates that more than 1.5 million people have lost their homes in the quake.Greene has not made many public statements on the earthquake but did tweet about the disaster."Praying for Turkey and other countries suffering through deadly earthquakes. Thousands are feared dead," the congresswoman <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1622592028893667329?s=20">tweeted</a> on February 6.It's unclear why Greene chose to vote against the bill, but it might have something to do with Wilson's rationale for introducing the resolution in the first place.Wilson <a href="https://twitter.com/RepJoeWilson/status/1630357990250356736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1630357990250356736%7Ctwgr%5Ec74f54881f120da95df5c63af1dd1e57dba368a1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffpost.com%2Fentry%2Fturkey-syria-earthquake-republicans_n_63fde656e4b0735bf879f36e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in Congress</a> on Monday that the congressional bill was a message to the "war criminal Putin" that delaying humanitarian aid to the region is "despicable." Wilson's speech referenced a diplomatic row in February when the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/13/syria-earthquake-aid-held-up-as-millions-suffer-in-freezing-conditions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UN's aid to Syria</a> was <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/frustration-un-ahead-likely-row-with-russia-syria-aid-2023-02-10/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held up by Russia.</a>Greene has taken a fairly <a href="https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-marjorie-taylor-greene-race-and-ethnicity-europe-mitch-mcconnell-6dd6985db085537fcb103c0d022ac775" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pro-Russia stance</a> on the Ukraine war. On Monday, she <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1630214384197726209?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> that it's "unconstitutional" for President Joe Biden to help Ukraine because it is "not a NATO ally nor a democracy." In April 2022, Greene was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/several-gop-house-votes-against-documenting-russian-war-crimes-ukraine-2022-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">among the six GOP House members</a> who opposed a <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/7276" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bill</a> meant to preserve evidence of war crimes by Russia.Representatives for Greene and Massie did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

"We've declared a state of emergency," the prime minister said during a visit to a disaster zone, according to Reuters. "It means that, from now on, the people who are involved in looting or kidnapping should know that the state's firm hand is on their backs."It is unclear, however, which kidnapping incidents Erdogan was alluding to.On the same day, the Austrian army relief unit and German rescue teams, and other search-and-rescue workers temporarily suspended their search operations, citing similar concerns about <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-64608535" target="_blank" rel="noopener">factional violence</a>, supply scarcity, and hygiene issues. A spokesman for the army said their operations were facing "an increasingly difficult security situation," BBC News reported.Unverified videos circulating on social media show scenes of looting, aid convoys being hijacked, and alleged looters being beaten by the authorities and by angry mobs.A man searching for one of his colleagues in a collapsed building in Antakya, a city in the south of the country, told Reuters, "People were smashing the windows and fences of shops and cars."Turkish security authorities arrested at least 98 people accused of taking advantage of the devastation on Saturday, anonymous sources <a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/turkiye/turkish-security-teams-crack-down-on-looters-in-quake-ravaged-areas/2816253" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Turkey's state-run media</a> outlet Anadolu Agency. They reportedly seized $11,000 and other stolen items like cell phones, laptops, and jewelry. "We're guarding our homes, our cars. The looters are looting our homes. There's nothing left to say, unfortunately. We're destroyed, we're shaken. What we have gone through is a nightmare," said Hatay resident Aylin Kabasakal, <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/looters-raid-citys-shops-homes-205021764.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per AFP.</a><h2>Food and water supplies are becoming increasingly scarce</h2><div type="image" title="Aftermath showing ruined residential buildings following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that occurred in the Pazarcık district of Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023 in Maraş (Kahramanmaraş), Türkiye" height="3956" width="5274" msid="97844092" hostid="261" sizebytes="1168458"></div>Food and water supplies are becoming increasingly scarce, however, and many people are in desperate need of essentials.
