February 6, 2023… The disaster of the century. We lost tens of thousands of lives, our cities were destroyed. But the strongest force that rose from the ruins was solidarity. Our community kitchens, hot meal trucks, and mobile kitchens worked tirelessly. Mobile toilets, showers, and laundries met the basic needs of our people. In this process, we saw the true strength of supporting one another and healing together. The pain of this loss will never fade, but together, we will continue rebuilding lives. We will leave no one behind.❤️‍🩹 @ifrc

A meaningful visit took place, strengthening the bridge of solidarity we have built in Cox’s Bazar. As part of his visit to Bangladesh, Türkiye’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hakan Fidan, met with our teams working in the region. We continue our efforts driven by the smile on a child’s face and the renewed hope of a family. Wherever there is a need, we will remain committed to working with an approach that places human dignity at its heart and to expanding the reach of compassion and solidarity.
