The Union of International Haulers has announced that it will transport donations collected to the earthquake-hit areas in Turkiye and Syria. The Bulgarian haulers are in constant contact with various organisations collecting donations, including the Bulgarian Red Cross, to ensure that the material aid is transported to the people in distress. The Union of International Haulers is calling on its members and other Bulgarian haulers to join the campaign. The Embassy of the Republic of Turkiye in Sofia has already provided the Bulgarian carriers with the necessary documents to ensure a green corridor for the transport of humanitarian aid.

“We are counting on the Bulgarian haulers to help our friends from Turkiye and Syria," the Union of International Carriers noted on its Facebook page.

Meanwhile, a humanitarian convoy of the Croatian Red Cross consisting of 8 cargo vehicles was escorted on Trakia motorway on its way to Turkiye.
