Resumen
Descripción
On 6 February 2023, two powerful earthquakes followed by tremors and aftershocks ripped through the southern region of Türkiye. The earthquake-affected area is known as Türkiye’s “fertile crescent”, accounting for approximately 15.3 percent of the country’s agricultural gross domestic product and employing 14 percent of its farmers. The significant damages and losses to crops, livestock, fisheries and agricultural infrastructure were estimated at USD 6.3 billion. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) scaled up its emergency response and launched its three-year Earthquake Response and Recovery Plan (ERRP) with the overall objective of maintaining food production and availability through the restoration of critical agrifood systems and rural livelihoods. This document provides an overview of FAO's response under the ERRP during February–August 2023 as well as planned response until October 2023 and FAO’s funding requirements to fully implement the ERRP.
