The death toll due to the deadly earthquake in Turkiye and Syria has crossed the 28,000 mark with many still being feared dead, reported BBC. The rescue operations in Turkiye and Syria to save every possible life are underway as several countries including India intervene to help the devastated nations. However, several incidents of clashes have hampered the ongoing operations. 

An earthquake slammed Turkiye and Syria on Monday. India has launched "Operation Dost" to provide assistance to both countries. India dispatched relief supplies, a mobile hospital, and specialised search and rescue teams to Turkiye on Tuesday onboard four C-17 Globemaster military cargo planes to support the country's rescue efforts.
