Since late 2021, there has been an ongoing increase in the cost of living in Türkiye. And the February 6 earthquakes, which affected 11 provinces in South-East Türkiye, have irreversibly changed the lives of more than 16 million people, including refugees. This study assesses the impact of Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN) assistance on the socio-economic conditions of recipients, with a particular focus on their level of expenditure, debt, coping strategies, and food consumption. Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) aims to track changes over time and compare the experiences of ESSN recipient and non-recipient households.
This is a deep dive into the lives of refugees in Türkiye grappling with economic uncertainty. Far more than a look at recipients and non-recipients of ESSN, we're telling a human story. What's in focus here? The battle to cover expenses so that food, rent, healthcare and education aren't sacrificed. The impact of income, debt and expenditure on a household's resilience in times of hardship. A look at the strategies that households use to keep afloat when economic security is threatened. An examination of food consumption patterns that serves as a litmus test for hunger and nutrition security. Join us as we journey through their struggles and survival - we're dealing with lives, not just numbers.
On 6 February 2023, the South-East Anatolian region of Türkiye experienced two significant earthquakes which claimed more than 50,000 lives. Approximately three million people had to relocate, resulting in high levels of internal movement within the country. Along with the host community, earthquakes severely impacted the living conditions of refugees in Türkiye. More than 2 million refugees under international protection (IP) and temporary protection (TP) used to reside in the 11 provinces affected by the earthquakes. This report provides an analysis of focus group discussions conducted in May 2023. It aimed to explore: Changes in the household compositions of refugees because of earthquakes and internal movements. Changes in the living conditions of refugees in terms of access to basic needs such as health and education services, household expenditure and livelihood opportunities. Observations of refugees on demographic changes in their neighbourhoods. Perspectives of refugees on the future of the situation. Respondents were selected among those who have been hosting a family from the earthquake region or who have left their homes because of the earthquake and currently residing with a family outside of the earthquake region. Of the 39 respondents who participated in the focus group discussions, 36 of them were receiving cash assistance via the Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN) Programme.
This study, completed as part of the Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN) programme, assesses the vulnerability status and severity of humanitarian conditions of the refugee population living inTürkiye.

Blood safety is a critical underpinning for safe blood transfusion and health systems. People in all countries have a right to expect that the blood and blood products supplied to them are collected, processed and provided in a safe and sustainable way that supports their communities and health systems. This policy applies to the IFRC network and the Global Advisory Panel on Corporate Governance and Risk Management of Blood Services in Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and sets out their position on advancing health security through safe and sustainable blood systems.

This guide, produced by the IFRC and Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, is designed to help Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies make their programmes and operations climate-smart.Climate-smart means using climate information across timescales in designing and/or adjusting all our programmes and operations. In doing so, programmes and operations ensure that, at a minimum, they do not place people at increased risk in the future considering likely new climate extremes and growing vulnerabilities.In addition, this approach offers the initial steps in the Climate Action Journey for the National Societies to identify locally led adaptation needs and support communities to anticipate, absorb and adapt to climate change.You can download the full guide in English, French and Spanish below, or download a summary of the guide in English here.

This includes examples of the contribution and impact of regular resources at global, regional and country levels, profiles of some of the IFRC’s delegations, and five case studies.
