Soldiers from the Turkish Armed Forces continue delivering relief materials to citizens living in earthquake-affected areas, as this video shows.

Crews can be seen offloading the material onto what appears to be a Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter - an American-made heavy-lift cargo aircraft.

Then, the cargo is transferred into trucks to be distributed among the people who need it.

Other aircraft can also be seen landing on the runway, bringing in more relief supplies.

The images were obtained by Newsflash from the Turkish Ministry of National Defence, along with a short statement that said: "We deliver aid to our citizens with aircraft and helicopters of the Turkish Armed Forces."

A 7.7 and a 7.6-magnitude earthquakes struck Turkey and was also felt in Syria in the early morning hours of 6th February.

As per the latest update by the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency, 46,970 have died in the earthquakes, with 41,156 confirmed dead in Turkey and 5,814 that have been killed in Syria.
