On the morning of February 6, an earthquake devastated many provinces where tens of millions of people live. Hours later, a second major earthquake hit and the scale of the devastation reached extraordinary levels. A 200-kilometer fault line was destroyed by a single earthquake and immediately afterwards, another giant fault line in the region also broke. This kind of earthquake is so unusual in modern history, and the humanitarian crisis is unprecedented in modern history. In the first hours, the Turkish government immediately declared a state of emergency at the highest level of grade 4 and called for international assistance. Immediately after this call, dozens of countries around the world, especially brotherly countries, responded to this call in the first hours. At the moment, more than 70 countries have asked Turkiye for assistance in search and rescue and disaster crisis management, including technical personnel and relief supplies.

I would like to express my gratitude to each and every PDF user who has shown sensitivity to this issue and has offered their well wishes and prayers.

However, despite all our well-intentioned requests, I observe that in some threads there are people trying to politicize the issue, presenting it as a competition between countries and trying to make propaganda out of it.

In this thread, you can share the teams sent by your country without opening another thread. I would like to express my gratitude to you for each and every aid you send. And please, let's not take this thread out of context and use it only to announce the aid activities of countries. When I have time, I would like to share these countries one by one.

Thank you very much for your understanding
 
May Allah protect our Turkish brothers. We feel the same pain as we would if there is a catastrophe in Pakistan. Everyone i meet is sad and praying for Turkiye.

Unfortunately, any large disaster relief of an important country will become a social media publicity competition. Fortunately, Turkey is and will receive tremendously more aids than an African nation Togo will. This is so since the interenet opened the doors to reader/viewer participations. Notedly Turkish citizens watch closely which country sends how much aid and decide which should deserve their politicians' good will in the future.

I believe the chinese have sent a team of 85 @beijingwalker shared.
I just found out that's just the China Rescue. Besides that, the Blue Sky Rescue from Sichuan province and Ram Rescue from Guangdong province (Shenzhen City) are on chartered flights to Turkey as well. I think there will be more rescue teams from the different provinces coming to help.
