"The rescue teams continue to come to Turkiye as a part of the aid offers made from 94 different countries," said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on his visit to Adıyaman, APA reports.
He said that despite the fact that more than 141 thousand personnel, perhaps the largest number of rescuers in the world, worked in the earthquake area, the timely intervention was difficult.
He appealed to all citizens: "Don't collect aid and leave for the earthquake area without contacting AFAD or the Red Crescent. It is very important that the assistance is coordinated to meet the needs that may arise in the coming months. All financial aid sent to AFAD is spent on the earthquake area.
Erdogan noted that the government would provide the earthquake victims with a one-year rent payment.
