Turkey voices appreciation for Moroccan rescue team

The Turkish authorities and population have voiced appreciation for the Moroccan rescue team sent to help victims of the earthquake that jolted the northwestern Turkish regions last Tuesday.

Morocco had dispatched to Turkey a 37-member rescue team who conducted rescue operations that saved several persons buried under the ruins in the region of Sakarva.

Morocco also sent emergency humanitarian assistance consisting of 36 tons of medicine, 900 tents and 6,000 blankets.

The Moroccan Red Crescent also joined this humanitarian drive by sending humanitarian assistance to survivors of the earthquake that claimed more than 18,000 lives and injured another 46,000.
