The National Railway Corporation has joined in humanitarian solidarity by contributing to the recovery efforts for the victims of the devastating floods in Nepal.
On September 9, the National Railway Corporation announced that it has donated 3 million won (approximately $2,500) to the Korean Red Cross to assist those affected by the floods.
On August 26, a massive glacier collapse in the upper Himalayas triggered significant landslides and flooding along the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. As of that date, the Nepal Disaster Management Agency reported that over 5,800 people were missing, and approximately 1,400 fatalities had been confirmed.
This donation aims to support the recovery of those who have lost their homes due to the extensive flooding and landslides. The funds will be used by the Korean Red Cross to provide relief supplies and temporary shelters for the affected individuals in Nepal.
Jung Jin-hyuk, the CEO of the National Railway Corporation, expressed his condolences, stating, “I extend my deepest sympathies to the people of Nepal who are suffering from this sudden disaster. I hope this donation will help in the recovery of the daily lives of the victims.”
