“We are facing one of the biggest disasters in the world,” said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Turkey declared seven days of mourning. State flags across the country and at missions abroad are at half-mast until sunset on February 12th.
Ancient ruins, including the Citadel of Aleppo in Syria, were hit by the earthquake. Many UNESCO heritage sites in Turkey may have been affected by the natural disaster.
UNESCO is concerned about the situation and has promised to provide assistance to those affected in Syria and Turkey within its mandate.
Rescuers from different countries help eliminate the consequences of the earthquake. Russian specialists work in one of the most affected regions of Turkey – Kahramanmaraş.
Another plane of the Russian Ministry of Emergencies arrived in Syria, carrying rescuers, dog trainers and special equipment. The Russian army will help them.
Specialists have everything they need to search for people in the rubble.
Rescuers will work around the clock.
In Moscow, people interested in roses come to the embassies of Syria and Turkey.
The Turkish Embassy in Moscow lowered the flag to half mast out of mourning. Near the building there are flowers, children’s toys and burning candles.
