The United Kingdom is leading the NATO response to the recent earthquakes in Turkey, utilising air transport capabilities to get specialist teams to the country.

Three Royal Air Force (RAF) aircraft are being used to deliver NATO’s emergency support package to Turkey, including a NATO Operational Liaison and Reconnaissance Team (OLRT) and thousands of tents to provide shelter.

The UK, being a prominent contributor to NATO, is also providing bilateral support to Turkey through the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO).

A critical care air support team and C130 transport aircraft have been deployed to Turkey to transport patients from the most impacted areas, while a UK Medical Treatment Facility has been set up in Turkoglu to provide medical aid to hundreds of people.
