            “Deeply Concerned”: Global Bank Group President Ron Nechemia Expresses Condolences to the People of Turkey and Syria Following a Devastating Earthquake of a 7.8 magnitude in Southern Turkey and northwest Syria.

The President of the Global Bank Group, Ron Nechemia, extends his condolences on behalf of the Bank Group to all those in Turkey and Syria who have lost loved ones. We stand with the communities affected by the devastating impact of Turkey’s earthquakes.

The devastation in Turkey and Syria is massive. I suspect the final death toll will be in the tens of thousands. So far, two large earthquakes have struck. When earthquakes strike densely populated urban areas, especially where buildings were constructed hastily and with insufficient considerations for disaster preparedness, the human toll is typically high. Natural disasters are often more lethal when people are asleep (the first quake struck shortly after 4 a.m. local time). Add the difficulties of winter weather, the risk of exposure for those trapped in debris, and the difficulties of a war zone to an already vulnerable refugee population. All of this points to an extremely bleak outcome.

The President of the Global Bank Group, Ron Nechemia, was “shocked and saddened” by the outcome of Turkey’s earthquake, which was recorded as “One of the strongest earthquakes to hit the region in a century.” He has added, “The Global Bank Group and the Global Bank Disaster Risk Reduction and Reconstruction Fund –– An Umbrella Trust Fund (GB-DRRRF) are stepping up their efforts to help the people left homeless and supports effective post-disaster reconstruction and recovery efforts.”
