The disaster affected both Turkey and neighboring countries, registering a magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale and causing over 4000 deaths and 15,000 injuries in Turkey and Syria.
Several streamers, creators, and online personalities were tagged by Jahrein, spurring a huge donation spree. He wrote:
HasanAbi, one of the most popular Twitch streamers, who is incidentally also of Turkish descent, was among the major responders to Jahrein's call for help. The devastating earthquake resulted in thousands of deaths and has left many homeless.
The duo set up a Softgiving charity page, which, at the time of writing, recorded over $575K worth of donations. Here is the link to the page shared by Ahmet:
