Two German aid organisations suspended rescue operations in quake-hit Türkiye on Saturday, citing security problems and reports of clashes between groups of people and gunfire.

The German International Search and Rescue and Germany’s Federal Agency for Technical Relief said they would resume their work as soon as Turkish civil protection agency AFAD classifies the situation as safe.

Turkish authorities have not reported clashes in the quake-hit region, but President Tayyip Erdogan commented on the general security situation on Saturday, noting that a state of emergency had been declared and that there had been some looting. The Austrian Forces Disaster Relief Unit – also briefly suspended operations on Saturday and then resumed, with Defence Ministry spokesperson Michael Bauer tweeting that the Turkish army had taken over the protection of the AFDRU contingent.
