In a humanitarian gesture, Ambassador Khaled offered his condolences to all the families of the deceased and injured in this painful event.

Ambassador Khaled called for speedy concerted international efforts to stand by Syria, Turkey and its people in this great event.

Ambassador Khalid appreciated the efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, saying it is not at all strange for the Kingdom to support and stand by the Arab countries, as the donations of the relief campaign for those affected by the earthquake in Syria and Turkey, launched by the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Action, have exceeded 62 million riyals so far. “Contribute” to help earthquake victims in Syria and Turkey.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan: “He decided to open hotels to the affected people in Mersin and Antalya, saying we will not allow citizens to remain on the street and we will act quickly.” This is what the Ambassador of the International Federation of Friends of the United Nations, Ambassador Dr. Khaled Jeraisy, valued.

Turkey had announced that the number of victims of the devastating earthquake that struck the country had risen to 15,000 dead and 49,133 injured, in conjunction with the destruction of 6,444 buildings in the affected areas.
