Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla, Twitter and SpaceX, has offered to send a fleet of Starlink satellites over the quake-hit region to provide internet access and easier communication for residents and rescue workers. .

- As soon as the Turkish government gives approval, our company "SpaceX" will urgently send Starlink satellites to Turkey - Musk said on his Twitter account.

The Turkish military has banned air traffic in the zone over the quake-hit region to facilitate the establishment of an airlift to deliver humanitarian and other aid.

- We have mobilized our planes to transfer medical teams and rescue teams with their vehicles to the earthquake zone - said Defense Minister Hulusi Akar.
