Turkish Baker Supports French Hospital By Baking Bread

A Turkish-origin baker and his family bake bread and take them to health personnel in the French city of Mulhouse to contribute to the fight against COVID-19 pandemic.

The family appealed to Emile Muller Hospital in the city to help its personnel, and the request was accepted, the baker Faruk Beyaz told Anadolu Agency.

They currently bake 150 loaves of bread and bakery products daily for the hospital.

He noted that a person from his family, Beytullah Beyaz, was positive for the virus and recovered after receiving treatment in the same hospital.
