United Nations: United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres will send his emergency relief coordinator Martin Griffiths to Turkey to assess the country’s needs as it recovers from a deadly earthquake that hit earlier this week, a UN source told Sputnik.

“UN Secretary General is sending his emergency relief chief Martin Griffiths to quake-hit Turkiye,” the source said.

Turkey and Syria were rattled on February 6 by at least three major earthquakes and dozens of aftershocks that killed more than 12,000 people and collapsed thousands of homes. Russia and other nations have pledged their assistance to both countries.
