A Spanish team specialized in recovering people stuck under the rubbles has entered the Syrian north through Bab Al-Hawa crossing on borders with Turkey to participate in removing the rubbles and search for survivors and casualties of the catastrophic earthquake. It is decided that the team should directly reach the areas, where the operations of removing rubbles are taking place, to aid the National Defence teams.
