Due to the humanitarian crisis caused by the earthquake in southeast Turkey and Syria, the UK Government should create emergency visa schemes for victims of these earthquakes, along the lines of those granted to Ukrainian refugees, to allow refuge to victims of the earthquake who have nowhere to stay.

The earthquake has affected the families of many of the Kurdish and Turkish community in the UK, and the Government should make it easier for family members, friends, and members of the public, to welcome those who have lost their homes to the UK.
