EPWS expresses its solidarity with the Turkish and Syrian women scientists and with all the people who are experiencing the consequences of the terrible earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on February 6, 2023, and is still devastating these countries with seismic quakes. News reports indicate that thousands have died so far and that the total death toll could rise by several thousand more.

EPWS stands with those who have lost their family members and friends, with the injured people, with all those waiting for news of their loved ones still under the devastation, and with the rescuers.
