The earthquakes in Turkey and Syria occurred on February 6, 2023. The first earthquake occurred 34 km west of Gaziantep City at 04:17 am local time, with a magnitude of Mw 7.8 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI. There was widespread damage and tens of thousands of deaths. At least 52,000 people died, 118,626 were injured without fatal complications, and 2.4 million were displaced. National and international aid did not wait. In this work we show, graphically, how a group of the Henry Reeve medical brigade of Cuba, especially the surgical team, offers its solidarity support in the areas affected by the earthquake, specifically in the Kahramanmarash Hospital.

Keywords : solidarity; ethical foundation; medicine in Cuba; earthquakes; Turkey, Syria.
