After an earthquake rocked the border between Turkey and Syria earlier this week, the world responded in unity to help rescue efforts.
Singapore has also deployed specialists from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) to join in the operations on Wednesday (8 Feb) morning.
Meanwhile, the Turkish Embassy in Singapore is also doing its part and recently called for donations to help those affected by the disaster.
In a Facebook post, the embassy urged the public to donate winter clothes, canned supplies, tents, baby supplies, and even mattresses.
According to the Facebook post, the Turkish Embassy in Singapore is seeking donations for people affected by the recent earthquakes in their home country.
These items include:
Those looking to drop their donations off can do so by mailing or dropping them off at 2 Shenton Way, SGX Centre 1 #10-0 Singapore 0688804.
Products should also be in either new or well-used condition due to hygiene purposes.
According to various comments, the embassy will only be able to accept donations on weekdays of this week and the next.
