Sheikh Fazle Fahim, the Chairman of D-8 Chamber of Commerce and Industries (D8CCI), has arranged relief contributions for those impacted by the earthquake in Türkiye. 

On Tuesday, a flight took off with sweaters and quilts to be delivered to the affected people. 

On 6th February, Türkiye, along with Syria, experienced a catastrophic earthquake. The earthquake registered as a disastrous 7.8 on the Richter scale and affected at least 24 million people. Of these, the death count thus far is 37,357. Since the occurrence of the earthquake, many countries have come forward to help the people of Türkiye and Syria. 

Speaking about the donation, Sheikh Fazle Fahim said, “This heartbreaking incident has caused unspeakable damage to the people of Türkiye. The thousands of lives lost are gone forever. Türkiye, as one of the D8CCI’s valued members, is a great friend and partner of Bangladesh. Türkiye will always find Bangladesh standing by them through thick and thin. This friendship and humanity have inspired me to stand by Türkiye in its difficult days. I extend my most heartfelt condolences to the country and its people. Anyone and everyone capable of providing help and support should come forward at this devastating time.
