I thought we’d only sent 74 from France . damn more than I expected. But that’s good news!
Do the empty fields mean it’s the same number as the countries immediately above?
Otherwise, why even mention them, right?
Appreciate everyone that helped in minimising the damage – especially certain countries here full of problems of their own.
We’re all humans in the end and these acts of compassion and understanding should be the norm!
Edit: Apparently it’s just in alphabetical order lol. Everything else said still stands though.
Stay strong Turkey.
Note: This is reported by Anadolu Ajansi, the state’s news agency from Ankara. The countries that are on the list but don’t have numbers next to them also sent a rescue team, but it’s not sure excatly how many of them are in Turkey currently.
So, what happened with the rejected help from Cyprus?
Stop peddling this nonsense. Romania and the Netherlands have been among the first responders, with Romania having sent 120 medical and search and rescue personnel. This is not the first sub you post this on.

Thanks to everyone who helped out more or less.
Sweden sent a team of 45 just today – since Sweden doesn’t have a standing search-and-rescue team they had to create one with personal from the Swedish Armed Forces and MSB (The Agency for Security and Readiness)
Yes yes, let this imaginary dick size comparison begin so we can mindlessly shame those countries that we feel like don’t contribute enough.
I’ll start with the usual classic: Germany wtf?!
Singapore teams also already saving people in country with more teams on the way. As stated by other comments already, there are alot of missing and maybe even biased information within this photo
EU coordinate with Turkey on what personel to send. You do not just show up at an Earthquake disaster zone.
The radio interviews with Danish speaking personel operating in Turkey (and Syria) suggests there are at least some there.
Can’t we just celebrate how generous the world has been and hope the best for the victims, rather than shaming countries based on the size of their donation?
Missing Ireland on this list. We sent some search and rescue teams.
Finland didn’t bother this time because of NATO and shit.
We offered to send an entire carrier group for disaster relief, but I don’t think Erdogan wants that.
Serbia sent 45 rescuers, but the number is not important. Important thing here is that world united for catastrophy like this.
The Azerbaijanis sent in 725 …rescuers? That would mean they support a really impressive number of specially trained personel. If they are in a position to offer such a big number of rescuers then they must have reasons for actually having that and most likely a much higher number.
People! The list is not yet complete, the number of representatives from some countries is not yet clear! Many rescue units are still missing from the list!
Even Armenia!
Russian and Ukranian rescuers would feel akward working thogeder these days
Greece sent another 40 yesterday and today
Sirbistan, what a great name 🙂
state media ..
Didn’t knew it’s a competition
None from my home country, Canada? Odd.
You kind of expect the people sent to be a reflection of:
1) How physically close the sending country is and,
2) How socially/politically close the two are and,
3) How big/rich the sender is.
By these standards, I’d say Israel, Azerbijan, El Salvador, and Mexico are on the high side. Germany is on the low side (lots of Turkish nationals, still 25% of France) along with Italy and probably some countrys that aren’t on the list at all… Romania may have the excuse of being pretty poor, but they’re close – Modolva sent more… go figure.
It’s also possible that some countries really don’t have the kind of experts (earthquake clearance) that would be all that useful. Top of the list for expertise would be Japan and a bit less so the US, I expect (money, population, and regular earthquakes and preparedness). Or maybe not, both of those countries also tend to spend big on preparedness and construction standards, ergo less cleanup afterward. Hmmm.
In any case, sometimes sending people is really more for looks than for real help. By the time foreigners get to the scene, it’s usually recovery, not rescue. 🙁 The real send is in financial aid that gets to the people in need (as opposed to sucked up by corruption) for rebuilding. That’s what they’re really going to need, going forward. And an end to the corruption in building standards.
the wiki article on the international response is more accurate
Turkish names for countries are cool. Very different from the boring European languages that almost all look the same lol.
As an odia from odisha state of india, hindistan name always trigger me a bit lol.
Mexican bros!
Uhh, feels strange, why count at all? I mean the only reason is to know where reduce forces would be located so as to balance resources, but just to measure who sent more, wut
That’s a lie because Sweden has sent money..
There is a lot of countries in that list with difficult economies, and some straight poor, just amazing solidarity all the way.
What a weird ass name for México lol
Russia sent only 150 people, because most of the rescuers went to Syria. Syria also needs help, but the world is focused on Turkey.
The Turkish word for the United Kingdom is “England”?
Lithuania sent them tonight.
Qatar also sent a rescue team and many other islamic countries did, which don’t figure out in your statistics. Your source must be drunk/ biased to not add them.
“Three aircraft of the Romanian Air Force that have on board teams specialized in search and rescue interventions of the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations of Romania (IGSU) and SMURD medical teams, consisting of 60 members, 4 rescue dogs, and related specialized equipment, left for Turkey on 6 February following the disaster.[150][151] On February 8, Romanian authorities sent a second RO-USAR team to Turkey to help with the search and rescue of survivors of the earthquakes. The search and rescue teams have increased to almost 120 people and are made up of emergency management specialists, healthcare workers and attendants of seven utility dogs that take part in missions in disaster areas.[152]”
In conclusion, Romania sent about 120 people, a couple of rescue dogs and a bunch of equipment.
Bulgaria is up to 92. 59 of them are search and rescue, the rest are firefighters and paramedics

[Estonia sent 44 rescuers](https://news.err.ee/1608878282/estonian-rescue-team-heading-to-turkey-hopes-to-find-survivors-under-rubble) and they’ve been hard at work.
Considering the Italian team has already rescued 2 people from the debris… I find this data rather unreliable.

I’ve reported this 10 times already. When you guys will bring it down? The data are wrong!
Kazahstan sent two teams with total number of 100.
