New York: Famous supermodel and activist Bella Hadid helped carry humanitarian aid supplies for Turkish earthquake survivors on Friday as she visited the Turkish House (Türkevi) Center in New York City.
After arriving at the Turkish House in lower Manhattan, Hadid met with Reyhan Özgür, Türkiye’s consul general in New York, and told volunteers at the site, “We’re so happy to help you in any way you need.”
“We stick together always,” she said, adding she will return on additional visits.
Carrying the boxes with her friend and hairdresser Mustafa Yanaz, Hadid hugged one of the volunteers, Asya Çetin, thanked her, and said she was ready to provide any necessary assistance.
“My heart is so heavy for these incredible countries & people, I am finding more I can do in the near future,” Hadid, 26, who is the sister of fellow model Gigi Hadid, said on her social media last week.
