Army providing medication in quake-hit Nepal
May 3, 2015 12:12 am·
Staff Correspondent
Bangladesh Army’s medical teams are providing medication for the earthquake-affected people in Nepal while six more people were evacuated on Friday on a Bangladesh Air Force flight, officials have said.
According to the Inter Services Public Relations directorate, the six army medical teams, which have been working in Lalitpur district in Kathmandu since April 27, so far provided medical services to over a thousand Nepalese patients, including those who suffered injures or were suffering from different diseases.
The teams comprising 17 members have set up camps some 20 kilometres off the country’s lone Tribhuvan International Airport.
Fire Service and Civil Defence director general Ali Ahmed Khan told New Age on Saturday that small groups comprising six to seven experienced members of his organisation were scheduled to leave Dhaka for Kathmandu on Sunday to assist the search and rescue operation.
The FSCD officials have said they prepared a 22-member team for Nepal and their flight was cancelled on Thursday on technical grounds.
The Nepalese authorities have said the death toll crossed 6,600 while more than 14,021 were injured as a result of the 7.9 magnitude earthquake that hit the country on April 25.
‘They [the Nepal administration] need relief and tents more than of the rescuers. So the relief materials were sent and more will be sent,’ said Ali Ahmed.
Armed Forces Division on Friday morning sent tents, blankets, dry foods, drinking water and medicine as relief for Nepal on a BAF C-130 aircraft.
Inter-Services Public Relations officials said the returned BAF C-130 aircraft evacuated two women and four children from Nepal.
Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association president Atiqul Islam and vice-president Md Shahidullah Azim went to Kathmandu on the BAF flight on Friday.
The BGMEA sent 200 cartons of apparel goods and made an appeal to the business groups to come forward with assistance for the affected people in the neighboring country.
According to Civil Aviation Authorities, Bangladesh, Biman has brought back some 655 passengers to Bangladesh and transported some 3.5 tonnes of relief materials until May 1.

Bangladesh’s airports open for Nepal relief carrying flights
The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (Caab) has extended its full support to accommodate flights carrying relief goods and also passengers to and from Kathmandu, Nepal.
Most of the flights diverting from Kathmandu to the nearest airports were due to non-availability of landing space over there. The diverted flights were landing at Kolkata, Delhi, Dhaka and some other airports, the Caab said in press statement today.
The Bangladesh government has taken bold step to get ready to accommodate maximum aircrafts of different countries which are engaged in passenger and relief goods transportation. The airports at Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet and Saidpur are thereby made operational for 24 hours and ready to accommodate flights from Kathmandu.
The countries engaged in such operations are namely USA, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, China, Thailand and so on.
The first flight that went with relief goods from Bangladesh was a BAF C-130 on 26 April 2015 and it brought back trapped Bangladeshis including Female Football team members.
From 26 April till 29 April,41 flights have been accommodated by Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, of which there were relief and flights of Biman and BAF, Diverted flights of Malaysian airlines, Malindo Airlines, Maldivan Airlines and few non-scheduled flights.
An Earthquke Relief Monitoring Cell has been opened at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at the Operational Building and 24 hours monitoring is being done by the concerned personnel under the leadership of its Director.

No old clothes please, Nepal tells India as officials find 'objectionable' goods
Nepal has quietly asked India not to send old clothes as part of relief for earthquake victims, saying in the Himalayan republic saying it did not want “leftover food", officials from both countries have confirmed.
India was the among the first countries to respond with a massive relief mission after a 7.9 magnitude earthquake flattened large parts of Nepal on April 25, leaving over 7,000 people dead and countless others homeless.
Besides the government, NGOs and the corporate sector have also pitched in provide help to the estimated 9 million people affected by the earthquake.
Nepal’s objection to old clothes came to light recently when the first wagon carrying relief supplies by train, reached the dry port at Birgunj, 10-odd km from Raxaul, India’s last border district in Bihar.
Officials said the Nepalese authorities detected a few “objectionable” gunny sacks, amid other relief materials, as part of completing customs formalities in receiving foreign goods. Relief supplies are unloaded at the port from railway cargo vans, re-packaged in some cases and re-loaded on trucks for transportation to different areas of Nepal.

Indian officials said, on detecting old clothes the very first day the exercise began, the Nepalese authorities not only rejected the consignment, but minced no words in conveying to their Indian counterparts that “leftover food in plate should not be served to them”.
B Mohan, chief executive officer of the Himalayan Terminals Private Limited, an Indo-Nepal joint-venture firm looking after terminal operation at Birgunj, told HT: “I removed the consignment of old clothes and junked it at our port.”
Consul general of India at Birgunj, Anju Ranjan, confirmed the development, saying, “I have communicated the information to the home ministry through my channel.”
The home ministry has been tasked with collecting and ensuring loading of relief supplies, pouring in from different governments and agencies across India, at New Delhi. They are then ferried overnight to Birgunj through Raxaul.
Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh governments, besides the Indian Red Cross Society, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Dena Bank and the MHA are among those to have sent relief supplies through the rail route.
The port has so far received 171 tonnes of relief supplies through the rail route from India ever since the exercise began on May 2.
“We now check any consignment of clothes before handing them to Nepal. On May 4, we found brand new towels in one such consignment, which the Nepalese authorities happily received,” said Raghvendra, an IAS probationer, overseeing the operation at the port.
Bangladesh to send 100,000 tons rice for Nepal quake victims
By Indo Asian News Service | IANS India Private Limited/Yahoo India News – Tue 5 May, 2015
Dhaka, May 5 (IANS) Bangladesh will provide at least 100, 000 tons of rice and other relief materials including drinking water to help the earthquake victims in Nepal.
"We have decided to send around 50,000 metric tons of rice to Nepal and sufficient amount of water on emergency basis," Xinhua quoted Bangladeshi Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury as saying on Monday.
"We will send more 50,000 metric tons of rice and other relief materials later."
Bangladeshi Food Minister Qamrul Islam has already been called for initiating an immediate measure in this regard, the agriculture minister said.
Bangladesh has been sending relief materials to Nepal regularly following the earthquake that killed at least 6,700 people so far, she said.
Bangladesh wants to stand beside Nepal as it played an important role in favor of Bangladesh's independence in 1971, Matia said.
Meanwhile, four cargo trucks carrying approximately 25 metric tons of essential relief materials for earthquake victims in Nepal left Dhaka on Monday afternoon.
The cargoes would travel through Banglabandh-Fulbari-Panitanki- Kakarbhitta land route.
The relief materials include 3000 cartons (12 metric tons) of dry food and fruit juice donated by local organisation Pran, and 5000 pieces of blankets donated by leading development organisation BRAC, according to a press release of the Nepalis embassy in Bangladesh.
Some of the materials were donated by various private companies, charitable organisations and educational institutions and others were collected by Nepalis and Bangladeshi volunteers.
