The medical and rescue teams sent by National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) along with relief items have reached Damascus as part of special relief sent to earthquake-hit Turkiye and Syria.
The equipment and teams were sent to Damascus by a specially chartered plane from Islamabad Airport, the NDMA spokesperson said. He added that a Pakistan International Airline (PIA) flight left for Turkiye with more relief supplies including 6.7 tonnes of consignment comprising large winterised tents.
