Dozens of orphaned babies who were rescued from the rubble in the aftermath of the earthquakes that rocked Turkey and Syria have been safely transported to Ankara on the President's jet.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's plane was used to carry 16 babies from Kahramanmaras to the Turkish capital following the devastating double-blow 7.8 and 7.5-magnitude quakes on Monday.
The President's plane has been put on standby to be used for earthquake-related operations including carrying medical teams and equipment to regions of the country.
