Latin America, China, Spain, Ukraine And Others Send Rescue Teams To Turkey | Turkey Earthquake

Latin America-
Rescue teams and supplies from across Latin America geared up on Wednesday (February 8) to depart for Turkey and Siria to join the search and rescue forces in the quake-stricken regions.

In El Salvador, army and rescue dogs boarded a plane to assist in the search and rescue works in the quake hit towns.

Salvadoran Defense Minister, Rene Merino, said rescuers specialised in searching for people under collapsed structures and a medical team had joined the mission.

In Mexico City, locals brought bags and boxes with supplies to the Turkish embassy and a stand set up in the city's downtown.

China-
Chinese rescuers on Thursday saved a pregnant woman from the rubble of an eight-story collapsed building since they arrived and joined relief efforts in Türkiye's southern province of Hatay, a region suffering the most loss of life in Monday's earthquakes with at least 872 casualties, on Wednesday evening.

The quake survivor, retrieved from the debris at 01:30 Thursday local time, is the first person saved by the 82-member Chinese rescue team, together with local rescuers.

The team, dispatched by the Chinese Ministry of Emergency Management at the request of the Turkish government, arrived in Türkiye in the wee hours of Wednesday.
