(MENAFN- Uzi World Digital) The earthquake that struck Turkey on 6 February will be remembered as one of the most severe tragedies of the new century. The death and casualty count is steadily rising, while the work of rescuers continues unabated to locate the last survivors and to bring comfort to the local population, who have seen entire towns completely destroyed.
Everyone at the international level has decided to do their part: including the Swiss banking giant iSwiss, which has been operating in the area for some time and which has decided, as a first step, to lower the commission fee on bank transfers for the Turkish population. A sign of the financial giant's closeness to a land and a population wounded to the core.
iSwiss CEO Christopher Aleo said he was particularly touched by the scale of the tragedy. In the words of the CEO of the Swiss deposit bank, the intention is: "To be close to the families who have been affected by the consequences of the earthquake in every way possible."
"It's not just a matter of cutting banking costs," Aleo continues, "but of considering every possible form of help for a population that has suffered so much, for the losses on a human and personal level. Without forgetting the incalculable damage suffered by Turkey's historical and cultural heritage, which has been so important over the centuries for all mankind."
Christopher Aleo explained that the iSwiss team will evaluate all the different forms of intervention to help the Turkish earthquake victims, coordinating with the national authorities and international organisations that are already working on the ground. A tragedy of immense magnitude, which shakes the hearts and consciences of the entire world, and which has given rise to a global chain of solidarity: specialised rescuers have in fact arrived from all over the world, for recovery operations and assistance to the population.
People from whom a cry for help is coming that cannot fail to be heard, also and above all by the world of finance: which is called upon, just as iSwiss did, to intervene to bring maximum help at a time of absolute difficulty, so that Turkey can soon recover from the disaster it has suffered.
