A Study on the Profile of Humanitarian Aid Workers: Turkish Red Crescent Personnel in Pazarcık Earthquake
In this paper, in response to the question “Who is a humanitarian aid worker?”, the Pazarcık (Kahramanmaraş) earthquake, which took place in Turkey in February 2023 and was described as the disaster of the century, will be examined. In the aftermath of the Pazarcık earthquake, a survey was conducted with the personnel deployed by the Turkish Red Crescent in the field. The Pazarcık Earthquake Staff Satisfaction Survey was administered to 1,876 Turkish Red Crescent employees working in the field after the earthquake between 01.08.2023-28.08.2023, and responses were received from 689 people. The study was conducted through Microsoft Forms with a 27-question survey method. The research, which provides data on indicators such as unit, gender, age, seniority, disaster experience, service areas, etc., provides a cross-section of the employee profile of the Turkish Red Crescent through the personnel working in the field during the Pazarcık earthquake.
