1. CSDI Campaign to Raise Fund for Quake Victims
At least 400 people were killed and as many as 2,500 were injured when a 7.3-magnitude earthquake shook the mountainous areas in the vicinity of the Iran-Iraq border.
Tens of thousands displaced as a result of the tremor occurred on November 12, 2018. Central Securities Depository of Iran rushed to join the massive donation campaigns to provide funds to help the relief efforts in the immediate aftermath of the quake.
