GAZANTIEP – The fashion world has begun responding to the earthquake disaster in southern Turkey and northern Syria where more than 11,200 people are now known to have been killed.
Zara owner Inditex has donated €3 million (US$3.2m) to the Turkish Red Crescent organisation and 500,000 items of warm clothing for the humanitarian emergency.
“Our support will be used to cover basic needs, and we remain available to the main organisations working in the area if future demands arise,” said an Inditex statement.
