talabat, the region’s leading local tech platform, has launched another campaign to support immediate emergency relief to the victims of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, in collaboration with Qatar Charity.
For the next three days, customers can donate specially-curated relief boxes via talabat Mart, including all primary necessities such as sugar, flour, beans, soup, milk, oil, rice, pasta, tea and much more, for the reduced price of QR50.
Users can also purchase comforters at a reduced price of QR12, all which will be packaged and sent directly to families affected by the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. For every customer donation on the app, a QR10 delivery fee will also be fully donated to Qatar Charity as relief to the families affected.

The donation will be sent directly by Qatar Charity to those affected by the earthquakes via Cargo flights.
Carla Ferreira, general manager of talabat Mart, said: "Through our latest relief initiatives this week, we have witnessed an overwhelming amount of support from the community in Qatar who have heavily stood by the people in Turkey and Syria during this difficult time. talabat Mart, together with its supportive suppliers, is therefore proud to facilitate additional ways to aid affected families by launching a special donation box. Alongside our long standing partners at Qatar Charity, we aim to extend these relief boxes for as many people who have been impacted in this tragedy as possible.
Francisco Miguel De Sousa, managing director of talabat Qatar, said: "The situation in Turkey and Syria is very serious, urgent and we can’t be indifferent. We have several campaigns live in talabat at this stage to support as many of those affected as possible. In this specific project, that talabat Mart team has launched with Qatar Charity is a great occasion to donate very primary necessities that a human being should have, which are all departing to the affected areas within few days.”
Ahmad Yousef Fakhroo, CEO’s assistant for the Resources Development and Media sector at Qatar Charity, thanked talabat and talabat Mart for supporting Qatar Charity’s ‘Save Earthquake Victims in Turkey and Northern Syria’ that seeks to deliver urgent relief aid to the Turkey-Syria earthquake victims, indicating that the affected are living in unimaginable humanitarian conditions.
He also called on the community to support Qatar Charity’s relief campaign and tabatat’s initiative to provide relief aid to hundreds of the affected families, meet their necessary needs and prevent the already worse situation from deteriorating further.
