After a deadly 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar on March 28, killing over 1,600 people, India quickly responded by launching Operation Brahma. On Saturday, India sent 15 tonnes of relief supplies, two naval ships, and set up an Army field hospital with 118 medical staff to help with the emergency.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his support for Myanmar and sent condolences to their leader, Senior General H.E. Min Aung Hlaing. He assured that India would help Myanmar during this tough time.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that two naval ships carrying relief supplies left India on Saturday, with two more ships planned to follow. The first ship, carrying 10 tonnes of supplies, sailed early Saturday, followed by the second ship in the afternoon.
Both ships are expected to reach Yangon by March 31. Additionally, the Indian Air Force sent an aircraft with 15 tonnes of rescue materials from Ghaziabad to Yangon. India’s Ambassador to Myanmar, Abhay Thakur, delivered the aid, including food, essentials, and tents, to Yangon’s Chief Minister.
