On behalf of our colleagues at R4HSSS, the Syria Public Health Network and Syrian British Medical Society we mourn the loss of life in today's earthquake in southern Turkey and northern Syria and stand in solidarity with them as they continue to search for survivors and rebuild after this tragic event. After 12 years of conflict there is an urgent need for an international response to the earthquake, particularly in the opposition held areas in northwest Syria where there is no state capacity to resource and lead the response. The Syrian British Medical Society will collect donations to support those in northwestern Syria. For those who wish to donate, they will receive donations in their bank account to establish a mobile medical point in cooperation with organisations operating in the region and the White Helmets. They will withdraw the donations received directly during today and tomorrow to start the activities. For those who would like to donate, this is the association's account: Bank: Royal Bank of Scotland Account name: The Syrian British Medical Society LTD Account number: 10914006 Sort code: 16-00-35 BIC: RBOSGB2L IBAN: GB77 RBOS 1600 3510 9140 06 Reference: earthquake https://bit.ly/3Rz6Rjk

Earlier today, TIMEP co-hosted a panel with the Arab Reform Initiative to unpack the dynamics of emerging movements for justice and accountability in Lebanon ahead of the country's parliamentary elections. We'd like to extend a massive thank you to our excellent panelists Karim Merhej, Lama Karame, Nadim Houry, Zena Wakim, and moderator Kareem Chehayeb, as well as the entire ARI team who worked with us to make this event happen.
