Facebook said that as of Monday, users will see a message at the top of their news feed with an option to donate to International Medical Corps, which has been operating relief units in the region.
In addition, Facebook said it had activated its "Safety Check", a system which allows people in the disaster zone to notify friends and family if they are safe.
"During times of crisis, we have seen people turn to Facebook to learn about what's happening, share their experiences and support one another."
