A major earthquake struck the border between southeastern Turkey and Yemen on February 6, killing more than 5000 people so far. The quake, measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale, is classified globally as a "big" earthquake, occurring on a fault line of 100 km (62 km).

Major damage to infrastructure in the region has led to a deadly humanitarian disaster in cross-border e-commerce.

But the world responded quickly. On various social platforms on the mobile Internet, people have been raising money for local and international aid agencies to provide relief to people in the affected areas.

Turkey's two largest aid organizations, the government department for dealing with such disasters, the Turkish Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Development Agency and Ahbap, a social organization led by philanthropist Haluk LEvent, have been pouring in institutional aid.

Chalmers announced that its agency has already provided free login password details to facilitate the acceptance of various forms of digital monetary assistance.

Turkish artist and creative director Refik Anadol was also able to create a crowdfunding project stock fund through the detailed address of Ether (ETH), where he will transfer the raised assets to AFAD and Ahbap.

In the Web3 industry, a variety of companies in the industry are eager to provide assistance, whether in the form of data encryption or legally prescribed donations, or even in the form of physical assistance.

Bitget, a password derivatives trader, said it would pledge 1 million Turkish rupees ($53000), 5 million lira ($265500) for Bitfinex, Keet, synonyms and Tether and 1 million lira ($53000) for Gate.io.

Turkey's local login password trading center Bitci has sent an emergency truck to the earthquake zone, while announcing that all transaction commissions in February will mean that the earthquake centered on Kahramanmara earthquake will be donated to Ahbap. Icrpex announced rapport with AFAD and Ahbap.

BtcTurk told Cointelegraph that in addition to donating 6 million lira ($318000) to Ahbap and Akut, the Turkish login password trading center was in harmony with the local government, providing 1.2 million lira ($62000) worth of clothing assistance to the area.

Both the Turkish branches of ByBit and okx have pledged $100000 and 1 million lira ($53000) respectively.

Cointelegraph also visited Sebastien Borget, co-founder and chief strategy officer of Sandbox, and mentioned the diligence of him and Sandbox Turkish companies in providing on-site encouragement to the local community.

"We are now with the Turkish people," he said. Together with sandboxie Game founder Community in Turkey, we keep in touch with relevant social organizations to establish an emergency relief stock fund, which is suitable for earthquake-stricken areas.

He said they worked with the sandboxie agency in Turkey to help a truck fill emergency supplies for victims and affected people and find a large number of long-term support options.

Irreplaceable tokens (NFT) are also seen as a possible way to raise money for this disaster.

Turkish NFT artist Pak tweeted about ETH's donation to Ahbap and NFT's long-term support plan. Gate.io also mentioned in the proposal that a NFT assistance promotion would be developed in the near future to obtain additional application.

This is also a developing situation that Cointelegraph has monitored. This article is updated on the basis of all relevant information.
