Seven Hungarians in the earthquake-hit zone, help is on its way!
Change language:
The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was able to establish contact with the Hungarian nationals. According to minister Péter Szijjártó, all of them are safe and sound.
However, it seems that the ministry is unsure whether there are more Hungarian citizens in the earthquake-hit zone. Mr Szijjártó said today that if anybody held information about Hungarians affected by the catastrophe should contact the embassy or the consular office as soon as possible, Magyar Narancs wrote. He added that the football team of Ferencváros is currently in Türkiye in a training camp but they are all well. Meanwhile, yesterday, the handball team of Győr arrived home safely from Türkiye.
Here is Szijjártó’s video he posted this morning:

A group of 55 rescue troops and two dogs of Hungary’s National Directorate of Disaster Management arrived in Türkiye on Monday night and further aid will be sent to aid earthquake-hit Turkish regions, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said on Tuesday. Three organisations will send 46 rescue personnel and 15 dogs later on Tuesday, with a 40 million forint (EUR 102,000) government support, the ministry cited Szijjártó.
