Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The UK Government has said that it will immediately deploy emergency response teams to the Republic of Türkiye to assist rescue efforts. This includes 76 search and rescue specialists, equipment and rescue dogs.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to provide additional assistance to Türkiye, but it would need to be clear what additional assistance you wanted to be provided.
