The Indian Army has sent medical supplies, a mobile hospital, medical professions and search-and-rescue teams to dig through the rubble and find survivors, as a part of ‘Operation Dost’.

A 7.8-magnitude earthquake that occurred on Monday while people were asleep destroyed thousands of buildings, trapped an undetermined number of people and may have affected millions of people.

Over 21,000 people have died as a result of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria.

Officials report that 3,377 people died in Syria and 17,674 were killed in Turkey, bringing the confirmed death toll to 21,051. The government has added that nearly 3,000 buildings, including public hospitals, collapsed in seven cities.
