Resumen
Descripción
On 6 February 2023, two powerful earthquakes struck the southeastern region of Türkiye. The earthquake-affected area, known as Türkiye’s “fertile crescent”, accounted for approximately 15.3 percent of the country’s agricultural gross domestic product and employed 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–December 2023 as well as planned response until June 2024. It also highlights FAO’s funding requirements to fully implement the ERRP.
