Jimmy Fallon supports UNICEF campaign to help Syria and Turkey

Comedian and broadcaster Jimmy Fallon has expressed his support for UNICEF’s campaign aimed at helping survivors of the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria, which left more than 16,000 victims.

Jimmy Fallon began his famous program “The Tonight Show” on Tuesday evening, February 7, 2023, by saying the following: “UNICEF is now on the ground to help our friends in Syria and Turkey. They provide clean water, food, and many other needs.”

Jimmy Fallon, 48, called on viewers to donate at unicefusa.org/tonightshow.

The journalist also explained that even the smallest help can be useful, in order to urge viewers to provide support for the Turkish and Syrian people to overcome this disaster.

Earthquake Syria and Turkey

It is noteworthy that at dawn on Monday, February 6, an earthquake of 7.7 degrees struck southern Turkey and northern Syria, followed hours later by another with a magnitude of 7.6 and hundreds of violent aftershocks, which left huge losses of lives and property in both countries.

According to the latest data today, February 9, 2023, about the earthquake, the number of victims in Turkey has risen to 12,873, while the number of injured has reached 62,937.

As for Syria, the number of victims has risen to 3,162 across the country, and the number of injured has reached 5,685. However, this number is subject to a very large increase. As the lack of existing capabilities impedes search and rescue operations in light of the dwindling hopes of finding more survivors under the rubble 3 days after the disaster.
