Carrying life detectors, tools for dismantling operations and a rescue dog, the team is expected to arrive at the affected area in Turkiye on Wednesday afternoon local time, the team said in a media release early on Tuesday.
All eight rescuers have rich experiences in international rescue operations, it said.
Established in 2008, the Ramunion rescue team has participated in 287 rescue missions, 16 of which were out of China.
