With earthquake-hit Turkey and Syria mourning the loss of more than 24,000 lives, India became one of the first nations to extend its hand for help. The series of deadly earthquakes that hit both the countries on February 06 have left them crippled and struggling as they are desperately trying to rescue the remaining victims. Trying its best to offer support amid the rough times, India is offering aid in every way possible. In the midst of this all, a Turkish national expressed his heart-felt gratitude towards India and the Indian Army. India has sent 7 aircraft so far with relief material and specialized rescue teams to Turkey under ‘Operation Dost’. The Indian Army has also set up a field hospital in Hatay to save maximum lives. Expressing his support for the nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted “India stands firmly with the people of Türkiye.”
