A series of devastating earthquakes have had a significant negative impact on this country.

"We stand with Turkey in this natural disaster. India's NDRF is carrying out rescue and relief operations at ground zero. Team IND-11 successfully retrieved a 6-year-old girl from Nurdagi, Gaziantep today," the Home Ministry spokesperson tweeted with the hashtag "Operation Dost."

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is an organization that has extensive experience in assisting with rescue and relief operations in the aftermath of natural disasters and other types of crises.?

Amit Shah is the head of the department, which is the parent department of the Home Ministry.

Atul Karwal, who is in charge of the NDRF, says that a team of 51 NDRF members has already left for Turkey to join two other groups that are already there.

According to Mr. Karwal, 101 personnel, divided into two teams and sent to Turkey on Tuesday, have been deployed at Nurdagi in Gaziantep province and Urfa, two of the worst-affected areas by the earthquakes.

Because they brought meals, tents, and other supplies, the NDRF teams had enough to last for around two weeks.?

"In preparation for working in the frigid temperatures of Turkey, we have supplied our rescue workers with specialized winter clothing.?The Indo-Tibetan Border Police and a few other organizations loaned us this outfit," Mr. Karwal told PTI.?

Rescue workers continued their efforts across the impacted regions in Turkey despite the cold, making it more challenging to search the thousands of structures that had been leveled over the previous four days.

The mark of 72 hours, considered by specialists to be the period during which there is the most significant potential to save lives, has also passed.

The earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.8, struck as people were sleeping early on Monday in a region where many people had previously experienced loss and displacement as a consequence of the civil war in Syria.
