Turkish relief agency, the Red Crescent, sent humanitarian aid to quake-stricken Chile.

The aid including tents, blankets, foodstuff and a mobile kitchen was sent to Chile by two military cargo planes.

An 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck central Chile on February 27, ripping apart buildings, highways and bridges before sending waves rumbling across the Pacific Basin. Hundreds of people died and more than 2 million people were displaced.
