New Delhi: India on Tuesday dispatched the fourth batch of aid to Turkey in an Indian Air Force aircraft carrying 54 members of medical team from the Indian Army as part of the Humanitarian aid.

Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that “The fourth Indian Air Force aircraft leaves for Turkiye with the remaining component of the field hospital. This includes 54 members of the Indian Army medical team as well as medical and other equipment to establish the facility,”.

India is extending its support to Turkey through the ongoing crisis after the earthquake that jolted the country on Monday and had already sent three batches of medical aid.

MEA spokesperson earlier in a tweet added that “India dispatches an Indian Army field hospital to Turkiye to establish a 30 bedded medical facility. Its first component has left on Indian Air Force C17 with a 45-member medical team, including critical care specialists & surgeons. Also has an X-ray machine, ventilators, OT & other equipment.”

The C17 flight with over 50 personnel from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and a specially trained dog squad along with necessary equipment, including medical supplies, drilling machines and other equipment required for the aid efforts departed for Turkey early this morning.
