As the death toll from Monday\u2019s devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria passed the 20,000 mark on Thursday, Israel\u2019s chief rabbi issued a letter reminding Israeli Jewish rescue workers to continue their operations through Friday night and Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, in accordance with\u00a0pikuach nefesh<\/em>, the halachic concept that the saving of a life overrules the commandments in Jewish law.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his message, Chief Rabbi David Lau urged that during the \u201choly shabbat,\u201d field hospitals should \u201ccontinue to function normally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He emphasized: \u201cWherever there is any chance of saving lives and finding survivors, the engineering team must continue its activities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lau quoted from the Biblical Book of Isaiah as he offered a \u201cprayer that more robbery and destruction shall not be heard in the land.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s military has dispatched 380 of its personnel to Turkey, including search-and-rescue and medical teams. The Jewish state has also established a field hospital in the city of Kahramanmara\u015f, the center of the quakes\u2019 destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Turkey\u2019s chief rabbi issued a prayer on Tuesday for those affected by the destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGrant patience, fortitude and courage to our brothers and sisters who are currently waiting to be rescued under the rubble, and bestow strength, strength and success to the officials who sacrificed to bring them back to their families and society as soon as possible,\u201d Rabbi Isak Haleva said in his message of prayer.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that survivors of the earthquakes could soon face new difficulties.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a second disaster looming unless we act very, very fast, meaning shelter, food, water, and medicine because it\u2019s freezing cold,\u201d Dr Hans Kluge, WHO\u2019s regional director for Europe, told the BBC.<\/span><\/p>\n
