Alkhidmat Foundation Gilgit-Baltistan hosted a ceremony to recognize and appreciate volunteers for their efforts in aiding earthquake-stricken regions in Turkey. The gathering brought together committed volunteers from Gilgit, commending their outstanding rescue and relief endeavors following the 2023 earthquake in Turkey.

Attendees were presented with certificates of appreciation as a tribute to their humanitarian endeavors. The seismic event, measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale, occurred in southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border on February 6, 2023, impacting millions of citizens and triggering numerous aftershocks.

In response, Alkhidmat promptly dispatched a 47-member search and rescue team to the affected areas, offering crucial assistance such as delivering relief supplies, providing transportation for victims, and facilitating access to shelter, food, and medical aid. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan acknowledged Alkhidmat's relief efforts and bestowed a State Award upon the organization for their service in the earthquake-hit zones.
