People in Turkey and Syria, whose lives were uprooted by deadly earthquakes in the early hours of February 6, 2023, are now looking at a food crisis as agricultural systems took a massive hit, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said. The United Nations agency has scaled its operation in the two countries to monitor the damage to food production and value chains and identify required interventions. 

Two earthquakes of 7.8 and 7.7 magnitudes hit the region nine hours apart, killing over 45,000 people, injuring several thousands and damaging tens of thousands of houses. People in poorer areas living in Turkey’s cheapest homes, suffered 3.5 times more damage than their richer neighbours, according to an analysis by global news organisation The Economist. 

Many of these homeless have been going hungry in relief camps, according to ground reports, while dealing with the brutal cold with little access to basic amenities such as heating or gas. Along with residences, massive destruction was observed in food production, transport and storage infrastructure in both countries, according to FAO. In Turkey, irrigation systems, roads, markets and storage capacity have been damaged, the organisation assessed. In Syria, crop and livestock production capacity have been majorly disrupted, it added. These include damage to and loss of livestock, agricultural equipment and infrastructure such as greenhouses, irrigation, storage facilities, as well as food and feed production facilities, among others, according to FAO.
