Black Desert Online developer Pearl Abyss announced that it will donate 100 million KRW (82,000 USD) to support emergency medical aid in Ukraine as it suffers the onslaught of war.
The donation will be made to ‘Doctors Without Borders,’ an international humanitarian medical NGO. This emergency medical aid will be used to distribute first aid kits to the wounded in Ukraine and neighboring countries. It will also be used to provide remote medical training and to secure essential personnel and supplies for relief operations.
“Our decision is made as a humanitarian measure to deliver aid to those suffering from the war in Ukraine,” said Pearl Abyss CEO Robin Jung. “We hope that our donation will aid where medical assistance is needed,” he added.
This is part of Pearl Abyss’ recent objects to be more socially responsible with current issues. In 2020, a donation of 100 million KRW was made to assist disaster victims in Australia and Turkey, respectively. The company has made donations every year to “Doctors Without Borders” to support medical assistance in local and global communities.
Pearl Abyss is just the latest of numerous developers that have come out in support of the victims of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with Remedy, Unity, and The Pokemon Company being among many others that have donated money in support of the victims.
