On February 6, 2023, a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake, followed by a series of strong tremors and aftershocks, struck southeast Turkey (officially the Republic of Türkiye) and northwest Syria. The catastrophe has claimed over 41,000 lives, with the toll continuing to rise.
After nearly two weeks of desperate efforts to locate survivors, search and rescue teams from around the world are now transitioning to recovery operations. International aid has poured into the affected regions, supporting the devastated communities across 19,300 square miles of land, where thousands of buildings have been reduced to rubble.
NEXTORCH's UT10 and UT11 lights have been chosen by aid groups to assist in the search and rescue efforts. These lights, equipped with multiple optional accessories for head or helmet mounting, provide essential hands-free lighting. They enable rescuers to work tirelessly through the dark, racing against time to find more survivors.
