ISTANBUL, Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- D-MARKET Electronic Services & Trading (d/b/a "Hepsiburada") (NASDAQ: HEPS), a leading Turkish e-commerce platform, launches a donation campaign page to enable the international community to provide relief to the regions impacted by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck ten cities in the southeast Türkiye on February 6, 2023.
To provide the earliest possible relief to the affected areas, Hepsiburada took several actions since the early hours of the disaster, including but not limited to:

Since the earthquake, Hepsiburada has facilitated the sale and donation of 1.2 million products;
- launching digital prepaid donation cards on the Hepsiburada platform and generating cash contribution to the name of several non-governmental organizations and two public bodies, which are transferred to their relevant accounts on the next day.

- mobilizing its distribution center in Adana as a coordination center and dispatching 12 lorries carrying aid goods to help the logistics needs of various NGOs, municipalities and public institutions.
With all these efforts, Hepsiburada delivered aid worth 115 million TRY to the region in 8 days following the disaster.
In addition, to enable international community to join the relief efforts, Hepsiburada launched a donation page on https://www.hepsiburada.com/earthquake
