Two IL-76 aircraft of the Russian Ministry for Emergency Situations have delivered humanitarian aid to Syria, the ministry's press service told TASS on Monday.

"Two IL-76 aircraft of the Russian emergencies ministry delivered humanitarian aid to the Syrian Republic. The cargo included food, basic necessities, blankets, pillows and personal hygiene items," the ministry said.

A total of 336 tons worth of aid was delivered to Syria by the emergencies ministry during the humanitarian operation following the devastating earthquakes.

Two powerful 7.7-magnitude and 7.6-magnitude earthquakes rocked Turkey’s Kahramanmaras province, located in the country’s southeast, on February 6. The tremors, followed by hundreds of aftershocks, were felt in ten provinces as well as in neighboring countries, including Syria.

The death toll from the devastating earthquakes in Turkey has exceeded 41,000 people. According to the Syrian health ministry, the death toll from the quake on government-controlled territories is at least 1,414 people. As many as 2,349 people were injured.
