Inner Wheel Petra Club, headed by Mrs. Mona Hamzeh Abu Al-Ragheb, collected donations for the relief of victims affected by the earthquake. Tens of thousands have lost their lives, with countless more injured in Turkey and Syria.
A friend of the club distributed food parcels, and infant formula herself to the victims in the city of Aleppo. She also paid for two eye operations for two inmates of the blind centre in the affected area. Their condition was severe, and the two operations saved their sight.
In addition, a three-story building was rented and the process of strengthening its walls and ceilings began, in order to accommodate those affected by the earthquake.
