Farmer Ali Öztürk: With cash grants from Turkish Red Crescent, I can properly care for my land

“After the earthquakes, I did not give up. I continued to take care of my land,” said Ali Öztürk, a farmer from Gaziantep province.
Ali’s barn collapsed before his eyes during the February 2023 earthquakes and his tractor was destroyed. Despite the challenges, he remained determined to continue farming with the aim of improving his situation. With a livelihoods cash grant from the Turkish Red Crescent, he purchased agricultural supplies to maintain his olive and grape crops.
Cash transfers from the Turkish Red Crescent and the IFRC have helped more than 860 agricultural and livestock farmers who received payments in two installments. Each person received an average of TRY 30,000 (CHF 1,000).
