In southeast Turkey, Georgian rescuers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ Emergency Situations Management Service, who pulled out three people from the rubble, keep working to assist their Turkish counterparts in the race to find survivors and clear the debris left by the deadly earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria on February 6.

The Georgian rescue squad, dispatched to Turkey’s disaster zone at the instruction of Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, is armed with cutting-edge acoustic equipment, drones, and communication systems.

On February 6, a deadly earthquake that shook southern Turkey and northern Syria killed four Georgian citizens, among thousands dead in two countries.
