    First 600 of more than 1,000 containers of NATO temporary housing left the port of Taranto on Sunday to shelter at least 4,000 people in the southeast of the earthquake-hit Turkey.

    Footage shows containers being transported by cargo trucks to the port while cargo cranes could be seen loading the containers onto a freighter.

    The shipment is expected to arrive in Iskenderun this week, in order to establish the camp for the earthquake victims.

    On February 16, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg met with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara having visited the crisis region and pledged support.

    On Monday, February 6, two earthquakes hit Syria and Turkey, devastating cities across the two countries. Many buildings collapsed, with Aleppo and Haman Idlab affected the most in Syria.

    At the time of publication, the combined death toll exceeded 46,000 twelve days after the devastating earthquake. Around 40,642 have reportedly been killed in Turkey as well as 5,800 deaths in Syria
