Summary:
On February 6th, 2023, two earthquakes hit Pazarcik and Elbistan in Kahramanmaras, Turkey, leading to over 50,000 deaths and leaving 1.5 million people homeless. This was the deadliest earthquake worldwide since the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
It is also proving to be one of the first major examples of blockchains and their tokens being used to directly offer humanitarian assistance. So far over $12.5 million in donations have been made from blockchain protocols, treasuries, exchanges and donors.
This proposal provides a tangible and transparent way for the Polkadot community to contribute to a long-term project that will help people recover from this terrible disaster.
Please note that given the amount of the requested allocation, this is submitted as an external motion: if/after approved by the Council, this proposal will be voted in referenda queue by the community for the final decision.
