The IDF says 15 Air Force cargo planes carried hundreds of tons of equipment and 230 participants in order to set up the hospital in the coming hours.
The IDF already has some 150 search and rescue experts on the ground working to rescue civilians trapped under the rubble.
The hospital will be built near where the search and rescue teams are operating in the city of Kahramanmaraş, also known as Marash.
