A military plane carrying 21.5 tonnes of aid landed in Nepal on Monday, responding to the country's severe flooding. The shipment, delivered by C-130J transport aircraft, includes forensic kits, medical supplies, and other essential goods. The aid comes as Nepal's government reports a rising death toll from the floods, now at 1,259.
The floods, triggered by heavy monsoon rains, have devastated several districts in Nepal, particularly in the southern and eastern regions. Officials have warned of further challenges in rescue operations due to the scale of the disaster. India has been a key partner in disaster relief efforts, with previous aid deliveries in the past few weeks.
The latest shipment is part of a broader humanitarian response coordinated by both governments. Nepal's Prime Minister has expressed gratitude for the support, while local authorities continue to assess the full impact of the disaster. Rescue teams are still working in difficult conditions, with many areas remaining inaccessible.
The situation remains critical, with thousands displaced and infrastructure damaged. International aid organizations are also mobilizing resources to assist with recovery efforts.
