India sends relief to Nepal after flash floods
The Indian Air Force has sent a C-130 transport aircraft with 10 tonnes of relief and medical supplies to Nepal following a flash flood, with more aid planned via C-17 aircraft.
Hours after a flash flood struck Nepal, the Indian Air Force dispatched a C-130 transport aircraft carrying 10 tonnes of relief and medical material, the air force said. It added that additional relief supplies would be sent in the coming days using the larger C-17 aircraft.
The deployment is part of India's armed forces' broader history of responding to natural disasters and evacuating civilians in other countries, often within hours of a crisis. India has repeatedly positioned itself as a first responder in regional emergencies, showcasing its ability to mobilize quickly.
