'Our brotherly neighbors live on the other side of the border, and we must work together to relieve their suffering. I am sure that our relevant authorities collaborate to pass the humanitarian aid and other supplies to the Syrian border, because, in the Syrian area, also, there are many Türkiye's institutions that are working at the scenes.  I'm sure they are also working with the local people to relieve their suffering', Ambassador Olgan Bekar noted. 

Official sources said on Wednesday that 3,480 people have passed away and about 3,000 were injured in Monday's massive earthquakes in Syria, Reuters reports.
