Qatar is working tirelessly and sending aid to the earthquake-hit countries. The Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) is supporting the search and rescue operations of the White Helmets, in response to the devastating impact of the earthquake in Syria.

The White Helmets, aka the Syria Civil Defence, is a volunteer organisation that’s been aiding people since the Syrian civil war in 2014.

The death toll has climbed to 34,000 in Turkey and Syria earthquakes.
