İNCIRLIK. KAZINFORM A convoy of 8 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid and Kazakh yurts left for Kahramanmaraş from İncirlik air base. «Turkish people look forward to the yurts, the most valuable cargo, since a great number of people in this area remain without shelter,» Kazinform correspondent reports.

As previously reported, Kazakhstanis are actively collecting humanitarian aid for the quake-affected citizens of Türkiye. Volunteers have already begun installing the yurts in Kahramanmaraş.

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev tasked the Government to send additional humanitarian aid to the Republic of Türkiye.
