Israeli Earthquake Relief Delegation Welcomed in Turkey

(Israel Ministry of Defense-IMRA) Josh Hantman - An Israel Defense Ministry team on Monday visited the Van district in Turkey which was hit three months ago by a catastrophic earthquake. Israel had transported 130 structures to the area by air and sea. District Vice-Governor Ahmet Kazankyeh, who conducted the tour for the Israeli delegation, said: "After the harsh quake that occurred here, you came, you the Israelis, with a lot of material and a lot of willingness to help. And for this I thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart." "You are our true friends, and the proof is what we see here. Only true friends can help so quickly and with such concern for their partners." Local university rector Prof. Dr. Mehmet Yozar said that more than 800 students will now be able to inhabit the structures provided by Israel after the earthquake. "Thanks to these structures we will be able to put life back on track here. We will finally be able to re-house the families and students."
