Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his country is ready to help Morocco “with all means”.

“First, I wish God’s mercy on our brothers who lost their lives and a speedy recovery to those injured in the strong earthquake that occurred in Morocco,” the president said on the sidelines of the G20 summit in New Delhi.

He added: “In the name of my country and people, I hope all the people of Morocco get better soon. As a country that experienced the disaster of the century only six months ago, we are ready to help our Moroccan brothers with all our means.”

Two quakes hit southern Turkey in February, killing more than 57,000 people there and over 8,400 in northern Syria.
