The Royal Jordanian Air Force has launched its first a relief operation to assist those affected by the earthquakes in Syria and Turkey. 

The first relief aircraft, loaded with vital equipment, left the country on Tuesday, according to Al-Mamlaka TV. 

The Jordanian rescue team, consisting of 99 international search and rescue team members and five doctors from royal medical services, will join forces with the Hashemite Charity Authority to deliver much-needed aid to the affected areas.
