The foundation also stated that it is preparing two caravans carrying food and winter clothes for those affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. The caravan will move on Tuesday, February 14, 2023, toward the affected areas in Turkey, and later another caravan will head toward Syria.

On February 6, 2023, Tawakkol Karman Foundation announced its contribution of one million Turkish liras for the benefit of those affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria.

The foundation called on the international community in general and organizations, in particular, to donate to help rescue the missing and stranded, provide shelter for those who have lost their homes, and activate the principle of humanitarian solidarity.
