Rescue operations continue in quake-hit Turkey and Syria and survivors and bodies are being pulled out of toppled buildings. The combined death toll of the massive earthquake of 7.8 magnitude that struck a border region of Turkey and Syria five days ago has crossed 28,000.

India along with various countries rallied around the two nations sending relief material and personnel aboard an Indian Air Force aircraft. The shipment consisted of an expert National Disaster Response Force search and rescue team, including male and female personnel, highly-skilled dog squads, an array of medical supplies, advanced drilling equipment, and other crucial tools required for the aid efforts.
