Like after the Russian invasion of Ukraine a year ago, clothing companies are mobilising to help those in Turkey and Syria affected by the earthquake of February 6. To date, the earthquake has caused the death of more than 33,000 people in the two countries, where several fashion brands are established and source their products from local manufacturers. Here is a non-exhaustive overview of the actions taken.
