India continues to send relief material after Turkey Earthquake
India has dispatched additional relief materials, medical equipment, and life-saving medicines to Turkey and Syria via its seventh ‘Operation Dost’ military transport aircraft. The Indian government swiftly decided to dispatch search and rescue teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), medical teams, and relief material to Turkey, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s instructions to provide all possible assistance to the affected country.
Firat wrote on twitter, “Another batch of emergency in-kind donations from the people of India is on the way to Turkiye. @TurkishAirlines @TK_INDIA carries the aids on a daily basis to the earthquake hit region, free of charge. #VasudhaivaKutumbakam THANK YOU INDIA! Each tent, each blanket or sleeping bag are of vital importance for the hundreds of thousands of earthquake survivors.”
Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi earlier tweeted, “7th #OperationDost flight reached Syria with over 23 tons of relief material, including gensets, solar lamps, emergency & critical care medicines, & disaster relief consumables. Received at Damascus airport by Deputy Minister of Local Administration and Environment Moutaz Douaji.”
This gesture of support by India demonstrates its unwavering commitment to stand in solidarity with its global partners in times of crisis. The Indian government’s efforts to assist Turkey in its time of need will provide some relief to the earthquake-affected population, and the provision of medical aid and equipment will help to address the immediate health needs of those affected.
