A new Saudi plane loaded with medical and health relief arrived in Türkiye’s Gaziantep region to aid victims of last week’s devastating earthquake.

The aircraft, the seventh to fly from the Kingdom, was carrying some 100 tons of aid that will go to a Turkish hospital in Gaziantep.

Assistant Supervisor General Director for Planning and Development at the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) Dr. Aqeel Al-Ghamdi said the latest batch of aid includes medical equipment, solutions, intensive care beds and electricity generators.

The aid will be delivered to the Turkish Ministry of Health that will distribute them accordingly.

Saudi Arabia had launched an air bridge, to aid quake victims in Türkiye and Syria, at the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, reflecting the humanitarian role played by the Kingdom.

Turkish parliament Speaker Mustafa Sentop hailed Saudi Arabia’s aid response, describing the Kingdom as a “brother and friend.”

Touring the devastated areas on Monday, he added: “The brother and friend is revealed during times of need and the Saudis have proven that they are brothers and friends.”

Saudi search and rescue teams had been dispatched to the quake-stricken regions. They have been working tirelessly in search of survivors even though the chances of finding any grow dim by the minute.

An earthquake struck Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Region on Wednesday.

Spokesperson for the Saudi Geological Survey (SGS) Tariq Aba Al-Khail said no damage casualties were reported in the 4.0-magnitude quake.

The earthquake resulted from tectonic stresses from the collision of the Arabian and Eurasian geological plates in the Zagros Mountains of Iran, which activated existing faults in the Earth's crust in Eastern Region of the Kingdom, he said.
