Amazon activates disaster relief services to help organizations responding to
the devastating earthquake in Türkiye and Syria.
February 8
Amazon provides cash donations to non-governmental organizations helping with
relief efforts in Türkiye and Syria
Amazon has announced an initial commitment of $500,000 in total cash donations
to non-governmental organizations providing critical support in areas affected
by the earthquake in Türkiye and Syria.
The organizations include Red Crescent, AKUT (Search and Rescue Association),
the AHBAP foundation, World Food Program, Save the Children, and UNICEF.
Amazon’s commitment is in addition to the product donations and logistics
support that the company is already providing in the region. The first two
truckloads of Amazon’s donated relief items departed the company’s fulfillment
center in Istanbul on Tuesday, February 7, for Hatay Province. Additional trucks
are scheduled to depart in the next few days to Hatay and Malatya provinces.
Amazon stands with communities in the regions affected by the devastating
earthquake. Amazon teams in Türkiye are closely working with local authorities
and nonprofits on the ground to provide relief.
February 7
First shipment of Amazon relief items leaves Istanbul for areas affected by
earthquake
A day after the devastating earthquake in Türkiye, the first truckload of
Amazon’s donated relief items departed the company’s fulfillment center in
Istanbul.
The supplies are heading to Hatay Province and include heaters, blankets, and
other goods to aide first responders and help victims stay warm amid frigid
weather. Rescue operations are ongoing following the Monday morning earthquake,
which officials say killed over 7,700 people.
Amazon customers can help by donating through a new donations page on Amazon’s
Türkiye store. Within three hours of the page going live on Tuesday, customers
had donated more than 5,000 items to help earthquake victims.
As of Tuesday morning, all of Amazon’s nearly 2,000 workers in Türkiye were safe
and accounted for. We continue to be in contact with organizations on the ground
and the Turkish government to learn more about what’s needed in areas impacted
by the earthquake, and we will work with partners to deliver relief items and
logistical support.
February 6
Just after 4 a.m. local time on Monday, February 6, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake
struck Türkiye and the surrounding region, causing widespread devastation. Local
authorities have confirmed at least 2,600 deaths and expect the figure to
increase as search and rescue efforts continue.
To assist impacted communities, Amazon has activated its disaster relief
capabilities and is responding to help meet the immediate needs of the Red
Crescent and other relief organizations. We are preparing to ship donated relief
items from our fulfillment center in Istanbul to affected areas. Our donations
will include items such as blankets, tents, heaters, food, diapers, baby food,
medicine, and other emergency items as victims face not only the damage from the
earthquake but frigid winter weather.
We expect the first truckloads to depart on Wednesday.

The Disaster Relief by Amazon team helps us leverage our expertise in logistics
to coordinate relief efforts around the world.

“This immediate delivery is just the beginning of Amazon’s response,” said Abe
Diaz, head of Amazon’s Disaster Relief program. “Over the coming days, we’ll
work with local organizations and disaster-relief groups to identify
on-the-ground needs and use Amazon’s logistics and delivery network to meet
them.”
Amazon has nearly 2,000 workers in Türkiye and no facilities in the impacted
areas. Our local leaders spent the day Monday ensuring that staff and their
families were safe and accounted for. We are committed to continue leveraging
our infrastructure, inventory, and teams to provide the relief that’s needed.
