The Masonic Charitable Foundation has donated £60,000 to the British Red Cross, UNICEF, and the UN High Commission on Refugees for the relief effort after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit southwest Turkey and northern Syria, claiming over 19,000 lives.
Many survivors are sleeping in the open in sub-zero temperatures with snow falling, and thousands of homes, roads, and hospitals have been destroyed.
The donation will provide immediate emergency relief to those in need, and the Durham Freemasons are proud to contribute to the effort.
