Airbnb offers temporary free accommodation to people displaced by the earthquake last week in Turkey and Syria, as well as to aid workers, the company said on Wednesday.
The company said it would use a non-profit network to find accommodation, as well as a voucher system for people who rent their homes out to tourists.
The inpatient period will be coordinated by non-profit partner Airbnb and funded by the company and donors to its website.
"The survivors and the first responders desperately need temporary housing. Each donation will be matched for a total of 5 million US dollars," the company said, launching The National News on February 15.
The offer also applies to the first responders to assist in search and rescue, as well as ongoing relief and recovery efforts.
The disaster, with the combined death toll in Turkey and neighboring Syria exceeding 40,000, has damaged cities in both countries, leaving many survivors homeless at nearly freezing winter temperatures.
It is still uncertain whether the building that is still standing is safe. In addition, they do not have water or electricity.
Meanwhile, millions of people were affected by the 7.8-squake earthquake that hit the region last Monday.
Rescue workers have slowed down their operations to find survivors, now focusing on helping thousands of displaced people.
