Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu on Saturday met International Organization for Migration (IOM) Director General Antonio Vitorino in Türkiye's southern Hatay province.
Vitorino paid a visit to Türkiye to show solidarity and convey his condolences after deadly quakes shook the country last month.
Soylu expressed his satisfaction that IOM has stood by Türkiye since the beginning of the disaster and thanked the organization for its support.
Speaking to reporters, Vitorino said IOM continues its efforts to provide relief supplies to support earthquake victims in northwestern Syria.
"We are transporting all non-food supplies to provide humanitarian and life-saving aid to more than four million people in northwestern Syria," Vitorino said.
"I hope the international community will continue to support these people who are in serious need of humanitarian assistance," he added.
More than 47,900 people were killed in Türkiye by earthquakes that struck on Feb. 6, according to official figures.
More than 13 million people in Türkiye have been affected by the powerful quakes that rocked 11 provinces, including Kahramanmaras, Adana, Adiyaman, Diyarbakir, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye, Elazig, and Sanliurfa.
