The Atlantic Council Syria Project is pleased to host a panel discussion “Insight from the field: The double crisis for Syrian earthquake survivors in Turkey”. This virtual public event will take place via Zoom on Wednesday, April 19, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm ET and will be streamed online.

Seventy days following the Feb 6^th natural disaster, millions of Syrians and Turks continue to live in despair as they try to put their lives back together after the two massive earthquakes that hit the border region between Turkey and Northwest Syria. Among the survivors are 1.5 million Syrian refugees who have become too familiar with the pain and destruction as they witnessed their lives being dismantled in Syria too many times in the last decade. Once more, the recent events are forcing them to relive similar ordeals and trauma.
