This week, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) delivered medical X-ray machines to Türkiye in response to the recent earthquakes that struck Türkiye and Syria, APA reports citing IAEA.
The delivery is the first of a planned series of emergency assistance packages.
“We are sending additional equipment and offering our technical support to respond to the needs of medical professionals. We want to thank Japan and the USA for enabling this quick response and call for further assistance by donors,” said IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi. “The IAEA will continue to support Türkiye and Syria in their response efforts and provide significant additional assistance under the IAEA’s technical cooperation programme.”
The IAEA is preparing to send more support packages to Türkiye and Syria in the coming weeks, including X-ray machines as well as technical support. The Agency and the two countries are also evaluating the need for non-destructive testing equipment to assess the structural damage of buildings impacted by the tremors and for supporting workers in operating such equipment.
