Israeli Aid Delegation Arrives in Turkey after Deadly Quakes
(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - A delegation of 150 people from the Israel Defense Forces' Home Front Command landed in Adana, Turkey, on Tuesday to begin operations there and in surrounding areas. Also on Tuesday, 25 volunteers from United Hatzalah were on board a flight to Gaziantep, one of the cities hardest hit by the tremors. They included doctors, paramedics and trauma experts, who brought with them 10 tons of equipment and humanitarian aid. A team from Israel's national search-and-rescue unit was on the flight as well, bringing the equipment needed for the complicated and dangerous work of excavating people from collapsed or collapsing buildings. A small group from IsraAID, including trauma experts, was also on the flight with a number of water purification systems.
