39 battalions of soldiers deployed in the region where the demolitions took place are taking the necessary security measures.
Mehmetçik works to ensure general security and public order in the earthquake area at night. Taking precautions on the streets, the soldiers also take precautions to prevent theft from evacuated, slightly damaged or undamaged buildings.
Supporting the safe and coordinated work carried out in the earthquake zone during the daytime, the Turkish military gives trust to the public in the Iskenderun district of Hatay, which is one of the provinces most damaged by the earthquake.
Mehmetçik also supports the work of many non-governmental organizations, especially AFAD and Turkish Red Crescent.
Supporting the safe and coordinated execution of the field works, Mehmetçik continues its search and rescue and aid activities 24 hours a day.
