Disaster Relief Support to Myanmar in response to Flood Emergency
August 06, 2015

12 Regions and States of Myanmar have been severely affected by Cyclone Komen, which has led to widespread floods and landslides in that country. Around 250,000 people have been affected and over 500,000 acres of farmland destroyed. On July 31, President of Myanmar declared Chin and Rakhine States and Magway and Sagaing Regions as "natural disaster zones" requiring emergency assistance.

On August 4, 2015, Government of Myanmar welcomed international assistance for the flood response. Government of India was specifically requested to send emergency supplies of rice and medicines by air to locations that are currently hard to reach through other means.

In response, Government of India has dispatched emergency relief supplies to Myanmar. Indian Air Force aircraft are in the process of delivering supplies to Kalay and Mandalay and are ready to supply other affected areas as advised by the Myanmar authorities. The operation is being conducted by Ministry of External Affairs in close coordination with Government of Myanmar, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Defence, the Indian Air Force, the Embassy of India, Yangon and the Consulate of India in Mandalay. The operation will be completed in the next 2-3 days.

Embassy of India, Yangon remains in close touch with the Myanmar authorities and international organizations in this connection.

India greatly values its special relationship with Myanmar and will stand by the Myanmar people in this hour of crisis.

India plans to send NDRF teams to Myanmar | Zee News


New Delhi: India plans to send NDRF teams to Myanmar to assist the neighbouring country in flood relief works, as rescuers in rain-battered nation are struggling to reach isolated regions.


"We have readied NDRF teams with all necessary rescue and relief materials to send Myanmar. An aircraft is also being kept in readiness. We are awaiting for a formal communication," Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju told PTI tonight.

A team of about 200 personnel of National Disaster Response Force is expected to be send to Myanmar after India receives a formal communication.

Sources said Ministry of External Affairs is in touch with the Myanmar Foreign Ministry officials and details are being worked out.

NDRF teams were sent to Japan and Nepal in the past for rescue and relief operations following earthquakes in these countries.

When contacted, NDRF director general OP Singh confirmed about the readiness of the contingent.

Floods and landslides in Myanmar have claimed at least 46 lives and affected some 215,000 people. Tens of thousands of people remain cut off and swollen rivers are now threatening to inundate low-lying southern areas of the country.

Indian Air Force sends Relief Material to Myanmar

The Indian Air Force on 06 August 2015 pressed into service its strategic airlift platforms, the C-17 Globemaster-III and the C-130 J Super Hercules, to send about 100 tonnes of food and medicines to India’s Eastern neighbour, the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, which is reeling under floods and landslides due to unprecedented rains. Yesterday, one C-17 aircraft delivered 48 tonnes of rice, noodles and medicines to Mandalay directly, while another airlifted about 45 tonnes to Guwahati. One C-130 airlifted 10 tonnes of relief supplies from Delhi and landed in Kalay at about 1300 hrs on 06 August 2015. The C-130J thereafter returned to Guwahati and delivered all the load brought in by the C-17 to Kalay in three sorties today.

The C-130 aircraft became an important element in this mission as the runway length at Kalay is just about adequate for operations by this aircraft and the formation of an air-bridge between the two bases was critical for efficient air delivery of load to Myanmar.

The immediate extension of assistance to Myanmar is indicative of the strong ties of friendship between the two countries.

Thanks! @Hindustani78
