Turkey Declines Israeli Aid Offer after Earthquake
(Reuters) Maayan Lubell - Turkey declined an offer of aid from Israel and all other nations Sunday after a powerful earthquake struck southeast Turkey. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said Israel was willing to provide "anything from food, medicine, medical staff and equipment to search-and-rescue teams." In 1999, an Israeli military rescue team rescued 12 people and set up a field hospital after earthquakes in Turkey.
