Bangladesh Sending Rescue Teams To Türkiye
(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor) Dhaka: Bangladesh is planning to send two teams to Türkiye to join the rescue efforts following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that killed over 4,000 people and injured many.
'We are planning to send two teams: an emergency medical team and a rescue team,' said Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Seheli Sabrin, as per reports, on February 7.
Rescuers in Turkey and war-ravaged Syria searched through the cold night into February 7, hoping to pull more survivors from the rubble following such a disastrous earthquake that toppled thousands of buildings across a wide region.
Authorities feared the death toll from February 6's pre-dawn earthquake and aftershocks would keep climbing as rescuers looked for survivors among tangles of metal and concrete spread across the region beset by Syria's 12-year civil war and refugee crisis, added reports.
Earlier, Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen sent his condolences to the government and the people of Türkiye and Syria after this powerful earthquake rocked both countries along their borders on early February 6.
