Ankara has offered to the international community that it can open two border crossings in the southern Kilis province for the delivery of humanitarian aid to Syria, Türkiye's Foreign Minister Cavusoglu says.
From dozens of choppers and ships to thousands of trained professionals, Türkiye has mobilised a major part of its resources to tackle the aftermath of last week's twin quakes.
Teams from around the world send rescue workers, equipment and aid to Türkiye, following 7.8-magnitude quake that claimed thousands of lives.
Truckloads of UN aid enter Idlib through southern Türkiye in aftermath of strong earthquakes that rocked region.

Türkiye's Communications Director Fahrettin Altun calls on people to avoid making "irresponsible statements" a day after Türkiye reminded Twitter about its responsibilities toward disinformation.
The support includes search and rescue teams with dogs, emergency personnel as well as supplies.
While the crossing itself was not affected by the quake, the road leading to it was damaged, temporarily disrupting operations, a UN spokesman said.
