Members of Australia's Turkish and Syrian communities are reeling after two big earthquakes hit their homelands, killing thousands. Aid agencies are swinging into action and asking for help.


There are a number of ways you can help those affected by the earthquake in Syria and Turkey.

The UN Refugee Agency is already working in Syria providing emergency supplies.

Emergency Action Alliance is an alliance of 15 agencies, eight of which are raising funds for Turkey.
