On Monday 6th of February the regions of Southeastern Türkiye and norther Syria were struck by two devastating earthquakes that measured up to 7.8 on the Richter scale. Thousands of people have lost their homes and the death toll is currently estimated to have passed 21,000 people with this number rising as the rescue effort continues. In the wake of the destruction, organisations like Médecins Sans Frontieres are working to provide emergency aid to the region delivering urgently needed supplies and medical aid. Thomas Kauffman, the general director of Médecins Sans Frontieres joined Tom on the Breakfast show this morning to discuss how the organisation has reacted to the crisis and how people can help by supporting their efforts.
