Situation Overview and Indicative Need Analysis
In Turkiye, 9.1 million people were affected by the February 2023 earthquakes (OCHA) and by the aftershocks that followed. This includes approximately 1.7 million refugees (UNHCR). Affected populations that are awaiting longer-term solutions are living in varying typologies of temporary shelters (outlined below). The winterization support proposed by the Shelter Sector Turkiye aims to improve livability during the winter months and in the process also increase the shelter resilience beyond the winter (where households are expected to remain in the temporary shelters for a longer period). Key elements of this approach are to provide shelter with dignity and meet basic human rights.
