Türkiye sends 30 tons of aid to quake-hit Venezuela

Thirty tons of humanitarian aid sent from Türkiye aboard two military cargo aircraft has arrived in Venezuela following the deadly earthquakes that struck the country.

The shipment was received at Simón Bolívar International Airport by Türkiye’s Ambassador to Venezuela Aydan Karamanoğlu and Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil.

Karamanoğlu said Turkish institutions had made “great efforts” after the earthquakes and praised the work of Turkish search and rescue teams deployed in the country for two weeks.

“Venezuelan authorities and the Venezuelan people speak highly of our teams’ work. This appreciation has also been reflected in the local media,” he said.
