Dr. Zahid Anwar Khan (IR Expert): There is no doubt that the scale of devastation and destruction in Turkiye and Syria due to the earthquakes is huge. It will take time for both the countries to recover from the current situation. The Turkish people are well organized and hopefully the country will recover soon. However, due to the political turmoil in Syria, the rehabilitation and reconstruction will take a bit longer. The international community has responded well in time and came forward to provide assistance to both the earthquake-hit countries. The Pakistani government and people stand with Turkiye and Syria in this difficult time. For such natural disasters, the collective response of the international community will be vital.
