The donation was collected bit by bit by the employees of the Rail Network Authority. This donation, which will be delivered through the Korean Red Cross, will be used to procure essential daily necessities and relief supplies for the local disaster victims.

So far, the Rail Network Authority has voluntarily raised and donated funds whenever major disasters occurred overseas, such as the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and the 2015 Kathmandu earthquake in Nepal.

Kim Han-young, Director of the Rail Network Authority, said, “We gathered the hearts of our employees to offer a small helping hand to the people of Turkey and Syria who are suffering from unprecedented earthquake damage,” and added, “All employees of the Rail Network Authority sincerely hope that they overcome their sorrow and return to their daily lives as soon as possible.”
