After a deadly earthquake, India and other countries send aid and rescuers to Turkey and Syria.

To conduct search and rescue operations, a group of NDRF personnel left for Turkey with a specially trained dog squad and the necessary tools, such as a wide range of medical supplies, cutting-edge drilling equipment, and other essential aid tools.

Even as rescuers searched through the chilly night into Tuesday in hopes of finding more survivors from the rubble following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that killed more than 3,800 people and destroyed thousands of buildings across a vast region, India has already sent the first batch of relief supplies to Turkey aboard an Indian Air Force aircraft.

Several hours after the Prime Minister’s Office made its announcement, a group of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) personnel and a specially trained dog squad left for Turkey for search and rescue operations with the necessary tools, including a variety of medical supplies, cutting-edge drilling equipment, and other essential tools.

“Indian capabilities for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) in action. Along with the NDRF Search and Rescue Teams, specially trained dog squads, medical supplies, drilling machines, and other necessary equipment, the first batch of earthquake relief supplies departs for Turkiye “Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi tweeted.

Before this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent his sincere condolences to the families of the deceased and wished the injured a speedy recovery. Additionally, Modi instructed officials to provide all assistance possible in dealing with the quake’s aftermath.

“Angered by the deaths and property damage caused by the earthquake in Turkey. Condolences to the families of the deceased. May the wounded get better quickly,” Modi wrote in a tweet.
