From February 6, Turkey and Syria were hit by successive powerful earthquakes. Due to this, huge damage has been caused in Turkey and tens of thousands of people have lost their lives in the rubble of buildings.
Within 12 hours of the first 7.8 magnitude earthquake, the second 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck. It is said to be the worst disaster of this century. The severe winter in Turkey, power cuts, trauma among the people, and people still trapped inside the buildings that have not been rescued have forced the rescuers to face a great challenge.
Various countries of the world are extending their help to Turkey and Syria to face this dire situation. European Union, Netherlands, Romania, England, India, France, Germany, Israel, USA, Russia, Iran and other countries have deployed their research experts, equipment, rescuers and rescue dogs in Turkey.
In this case, the Indian National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), which worked well during the Japan and Nepal earthquakes, has now gone to Turkey and Syria for rescue work.
Along with them, India has sent four rescue dogs namely Julie, Romeo, Honey and Rambo. Disaster rescue teams along with these skilled rescue dogs will embark on search and rescue operations.
Similarly, Mexico has sent some of its popular search and rescue dogs to Turkey and Syria.
In particular, during the 2017 earthquake in Mexico City, Frida saved 12 lives and recovered 40 bodies while wearing safety glasses and boots. Its photos are going viral on social media.
