Chinese construction machinery maker Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & 
Technology Co., Ltd. (Zoomlion, 000157.SZ) has recently sent a rescue team and 
excavators to earthquake-ravaged Hatay in Türkiye to assist in rescue efforts.

A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck Türkiye's southern province of Kahramanmaras 
at 4:17 a.m. local time (0117 GMT), followed by a magnitude 6.4 quake a few 
minutes later in the country's southern province of Gaziantep and a magnitude 
7.6 earthquake at 1:24 p.m. local time (1024 GMT) in the Kahramanmaras Province.

After the earthquakes, Zoomlion's subordinate company based in Türkiye 
immediately sent a rescue team consisting of professional service engineers and 
machine operators to the disaster area, carrying electric blankets, emergency 
medicine, food and 5 sets of excavator equipment.

As one of the first Chinese rescue teams to arrive at the quake-hit area, 
Zoomlion rescue team has helped rescue four trapped survivors and participate 
in earthquake relief efforts.

Yu Ke, a Zoomlion service engineer who participated in the rescue work, said 
that "after our rescue team and excavator equipment arrived at the scene, we 
immediately participated in the rescue work of survivors trapped in a six-story 
collapsed building. So far, we have helped save four trapped people and tried 
to rescue more survivors."

The company also helped to provide rescue equipment. So far, a total of 18 
excavators have been sent to the disaster area to assist in the rescue efforts.
