15+ Fashion Brands Supporting Beirut Relief Efforts
When irresponsibly stored Ammonium Nitrate in the port of Beirut exploded, a major part of the capital crumbled. Hundreds were killed, thousands were injured, over 300,000 families lost their homes, and countless businesses vanished into dust and ashes.
In the absence of any government plan to rescue the country's capital, the people have been relying on each other and on the NGOs to try to survive the catastrophe. And the NGOs have been relying on foreign aids and expats' initiatives to deal with the emergency phase that isn't over yet.

As of date, these are the brands that are supporting Lebanon, some even donating 100% of their sale proceeds, and some part of their sales.
