Over 4,200 Saudi medics volunteer to aid Turkey, Syria earthquake survivors


 More than 4,200 Saudi medics have registered to help quake survivors in Turkey and Syria, the chief of Saudi aid told Arab News, as relief efforts continue in the most affected areas.

Around 50,000 people are known to have died in the Feb. 6 earthquake, which reduced dozens of towns to rubble. Hundreds of thousands more people are left with nothing and many are sleeping in tents or in the open in winter conditions.
