4 min readWhen a catastrophe happens, the global community provides an outpouring of support to help individuals and businesses rebuild and cities and countries to get back on track. Others offer financial assistance to be used for necessary aid like medical supplies, food, and shelter.
To support ongoing disaster relief efforts across Turkey following a deadly 7.8 magnitude earthquake, the margin trading platform PrimeXBT has made a charitable donation via the Ahbap Association.
The Humanitarian Effort Following The Deadly Earthquake
Seismic activity throughout February has taken a devastating toll on Turkey and parts of Syria. A 7.8 magnitude earthquake took the lives of more than 45,000 people from the region, and a follow-up 6.4 magnitude quake added several more to the death count.
More than 1.6 million people have been displaced and are seeking temporary shelter and housing while they await clean-up efforts to complete and new construction on residential and commercial properties to begin. Several charitable organizations have launched campaigns to support relief activities, and every donation provides access to necessary food, clean water, or medical supplies.
