A large-scale earthquake occurred along the border between Turkey and Syria in the early morning of February 6, causing enormous damage.

I would like to express my condolences to the victims and express my heartfelt sympathy to those affected by the disaster.

It has been reported that more than 46,000 people have died in Turkey and Syria (NHK report on February 20), and further support is needed as the evacuation lives of those affected have been prolonged.

Currently, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) provides emergency food assistance to survivors in both Turkey and Syria, including providing warm and ready-to-eat meals.

The city of Yokohama is cooperating with the United Nations WFP Japan Office to support the affected areas earthquake in Turkey.
