The majority of people made homeless by the earthquake are staying in shelters, gardens, mosques and other places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minister explained that by designating these governorates as disaster zones, the Council of Ministers will be able to cancel certain projects and allocate their funds to earthquake recovery projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US Treasury\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued a license <a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/news\/press-releases\/jy1261\">(General License \u2013GL 23)<\/a> that authorizes, for a period of 180 days, all transactions related to earthquake relief that would be otherwise prohibited by the Syrian sanctions regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At dawn on February 6, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit Syria and Turkey, killing tens of thousands and injuring many more.
