WHO SENDS HEALTH SUPLIES TO REACH 400 000 PEOPLE IMPLABTED BY THE EARTHQUKES IN TURKIYE AND THE SYRIAN ARAB REPULIC

 The World Health Organization sent 72 metric tons of trauma and emergency surgery supplies, including medications, to Turkey and the Syrian Arab Republic in response to the terrible earthquakes that struck those nations. These supplies will aid in ongoing relief operations.

A first charter flight carrying 37 tons of goods for saving lives left for Turkey on February 9; today, a second flight is expected to deliver 35 tons of supplies to the Syrian Arab Republic. The combined amount of these life-saving supplies from both aircraft will be used to treat.

 And care for 100 000 patients as well as perform 120 000 urgent surgical procedures in both countries. On February 12, a third flight is planned to arrive in the Syrian Arab Republic with an anticipated cargo of 37 metric tons of medical supplies for an additional 300,000 people.

Trauma and emergency surgery supplies are made to treat injuries from earthquakes as well as illnesses like pneumonia that are predicted to become more prevalent over the coming days and weeks as a result of people being exposed to cold temperatures and taking refuge outside or in makeshift shelters. 

The supplies come after the World Health Organization (WHO) immediately distributed prepositioned medical and surgical supplies in Syria on Monday, February 6, to 16 hospitals caring for earthquake survivors in the nation's northwest.

Within hours after the accident, the WHO released US$ 3 million from the Contingency Funding for Emergencies, including US$ 16 million for these chartered flights. The WHO Global Logistics Hub is housed within the International Humanitarian City (IHC) in Dubai.

The United Arab Emirates is sending these 110 metric tons of goods, with a total value of USD 826 000. The flights, which were given by the IHC, are establishing an essential connection with individuals affected by this tragic occurrence.

According to WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, "These life-saving medical supplies are essential for treating the injured and giving immediate treatment to all those touched by this catastrophe in both nations." 

In addition to ongoing aftershocks and very limited access to shelter, food, water, heat, and medical treatment, survivors must deal with subfreezing temperatures. We have to act quickly to save lives. The Global Logistics Hub operates around the clock. 

Rapidly mobilized the shipment of 110 metric tons to respond to a serious public health emergency. WHO is appreciative of the IHC's assistance and collaboration with the governments of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates in getting these supplies to those who need them most urgently.
