Oxfam says: ‘Southern Turkey has been heavily affected, especially areas around Gaziantep and Hatay/Antakya. These are major hubs for NGOs supporting Syria through cross-border humanitarian operations. The earthquake also hit areas in North West Syria, which continue to be heavily affected by the conflict and host the majority of the 6.7 million Syrians who have had to leave their homes. Oxfam’s response in Syria is currently supporting 1.5 million people.’
