The Turkey-Syria earthquake has been a headline on the global news scene since it occurred on February 6th, 2023. Financial service provider XM Group has provided relief packages to help victims deal with the earthquake's aftermath.
Details of XM's Relief package to Victims of the Turkey-Syria Earthquake
On February 6th, 2023, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit close to the town of Gaziantep, Turkey, a few miles from north-western Syria. This earthquake is reportedly the strongest to hit Turkey since 1939.
The major problem is that Turkey and Syria's disaster management teams are working with limited resources. But, the countries’ limited resources are not the only problem. Many displaced individuals have had to deal with a lack of basic amenities and harsh weather conditions.
With over forty thousand reported dead and hundreds of thousands displaced, the outcry for international intervention and relief is at its peak.
Mark Kaye of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), describes the situation as "an emergency within an emergency." Kaye is the IRC’s director of policy, advocacy, and communications for the Middle East and North Africa.
Several organizations have supported rescue teams to evacuate people and ensure survivors get the necessary help. XM is one such organization supporting UNICEF in distributing necessities to victims, especially children. The broker donated relief packages to support victims impacted by the earthquake.
