Recent Earthquake in Syria and Its Consequences
The recent earthquake in Syria has caused extensive damage to houses and infrastructure, leaving many people homeless and without access to essentials. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck near the border with Turkey and was felt over numerous provinces of Syria. The calamity has left more than 50,000 people dead and many more injured and in need of assistance.
The Philippines has always demonstrated remarkable resilience and a willingness to extend a helping hand to those in need. This recent act of kindness towards the people of Syria is a reflection of the country’s unwavering commitment to providing aid and relief to individuals affected by natural disasters.
