Franklin Graham Update: FEBRUARY 2023

Helping Earthquake
Survivors in Turkey

Dear ‌Friend,

Massive earthquakes devastated central Turkey on Feb. 6, killing thousands in collapsed buildings and leaving multitudes desperate for help.

The first quake had a magnitude of 7.8 with an aftershock of 7.5. In the town of Iskenderun, near the Biblical city of Antioch, the hospital collapsed in a pile of concrete rubble, entombing doctors, nurses, and patients. This awful tragedy crippled the local medical system at the hour help is urgently needed.

Samaritan's Purse immediately airlifted one of our Emergency Field Hospitals to Turkey. As I write this, we are setting it up near Antioch, "where the disciples were first called Christians" (Acts 11:26).
