In front of the truck loaded with the items, Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu (center), and officials from Seongbuk-gu and the Volunteer Center are delivering messages of support.

Relief supplies filled with the wishes of Seongbuk-gu residents for the swift recovery of T?rkiye and Syria will depart for the affected areas on the 24th.

Two trucks, one 2.5 tons and the other 1 ton, loaded with goods collected since the 15th of this month, will head to a logistics center in Incheon designated by the Embassy of T?rkiye.

Seongbuk-gu (District Mayor Lee Seung-ro) established an emergency relief center at the district office starting on the 15th to receive applications for supplies after receiving numerous inquiries from residents expressing their intention to donate and participate in special fundraising for T?rkiye and Syria.

“True brothers cannot just watch suffering,” said residents, individuals, and various organizations, including the Seongbuk-gu Fashion Sewing Association, who took the lead in relief efforts.

In particular, sewing companies in Seongbuk-gu, which prepared hundreds of winter garments, are also known for their deep affection for the “brotherly nation” as they sent 10,000 antibacterial masks to T?rkiye during the major COVID-19 outbreak in 2020.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, stated, “T?rkiye is a grateful country that sent many troops during the Korean War and provided great help. Even now, many residents are inquiring about donations at community centers and the district office. We will do our best to ensure these heartfelt intentions are well conveyed. We pray for the speedy recovery from the earthquake damage.”
