Turkey sends humanitarian aid to Chilean quake victims

12 March 2010 / THE ANATOLIA NEWS AGENCY, ANKARA
Turkish aid organization Türk Kızılayı (Red Crescent) sent medicine and humanitarian aid to quake-hit Chile.

20 tons of relief including tents, blankets, medicine, food and water was sent from Turkey with two military cargo planes on Friday.

A magnitude-8.8 earthquake struck central Chile on February 27, ripping apart buildings, highways and bridges before sending waves rumbling across the Pacific Basin. Hundreds of people died and more than 2 million people were displaced. On Thursday, an aftershock measuring 7.2 hit Chile again.
