Turkey has accepted Israel's offer of foreign aid in the wake of an earthquake in the east of the country.
Following the disaster, Israeli President Shimon Peres telephoned his Turkish counterpart, President Abdullah Gul and offered to send search-and-rescue teams, food, medicine, medical staff and equipment.
With offers of aid coming in from around the world, including Armenia and Japan, Turkey at first said it did not need foreign assistance.
But with the death toll at more than 400 and tens of thousands of people without homes, Turkey has reconsidered.
