International Development Minister, Harjit Sajjan, has revealed that Canada will provide $10 million in aid to Turkey and Syria after a series of earthquakes which killed thousands of people in the two nations.
Sajjan made it known that Canada is planning to deploy medical and search and rescue teams, but it first has to be assessed by United Nations disaster response teams in the region.
Sajjan said: “Right now, we have to conduct the assessments. All that information needs to be worked out. Nothing’s off the table. We’ll look at any options.”
Sajjan did not mention an estimate of how long the assessment will take.
Meanwhile, Turkey’s disaster management agency has revealed that more than 24,400 emergency personnel are now present in the country.
