Popular Twitch and YouTube streamers have come together to raise funds for the humanitarian crisis in Syria and Turkey. The two countries were recently devastated by two powerful earthquakes that resulted in the loss of over 11,000 lives.
In response to the crisis, Twitch and YouTube streamers including Hasanabi, IShowSpeed, Ludwig and more, started a fundraiser to aid the affected communities. The fundraiser is started by Hasanabi and will benefit the AKUT non-profit organisation and Haluk Levent’s organisation Ahbap. So far, the fundraiser has raised nearly $900,000, with many top content creators contributing to the cause.
