The Turkish government led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday rejected the aid during a telephone conversation with Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, as recorded by the Israeli media. Ankara has justified the refusal to accept international aid were still assessing the damage.

The Turkish position has changed on Tuesday and the government of Erdogan has called on Israel to send demountable structures that can serve as shelter for evacuees, reports Haaretz. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, has ordered the director general of the department, Rafael Barak, that you immediately contact the authorities of the neighboring country to coordinate shipping.
