Following the 2023 earthquake in Turkey and Syria Agility and its employees donated enough funds to feed about 43,000 refugees impacted by the earthquake. In addition to this Agility also supported the UN Global Logistics Cluster’s response operations in Turkey. Agility supported the Cluster’s provision of warehouse services to NGO’s working to assist beneficiaries in recovering from the disaster. From March to May, 3,518 m3 of humanitarian cargo was stored in the Logistics Cluster’s common warehouses in Adiyaman, Hatay, and Malatya. The stored items were used by NGO partners to support tens of thousands of displaced persons and beneficiaries in need of assistance.
On September 9th an earthquake struck central Morocco. The biggest city impacted was Marrakesh, but the most severe impact was in the mostly mountainous and rural regions of south-central Morocco. In these locations about 3,000 people were killed, and tens of thousands of people lost homes and possessions. This area of the country is mountainous, and the nighttime temperatures are very cold even in summer. With autumn and winter approaching shelter, food and life support assistance was of critical importance. Agility provided funding to Amis des Ecoles so they could quickly construct a tented school, complete with a kitchen and bathrooms, for 100 kids to make sure the earthquake did not keep the kids away from learning. In addition, the Amis des Ecoles team procured and distributed critically need items including shelter, clothing, blankets, life support essentials and food for 120 families – including 600 children – in need of assistance.
