The Indian Navy’s INS Satpura has already dispatched 10 tons of essential supplies, including dry rations, clothing, and medicines, to Myanmar. Concurrently, the Indian Air Force is airlifting 35 tons of aid to Vietnam, which includes water purification systems, water containers, blankets, kitchen utensils, and solar lanterns. Laos is also receiving 10 tons of relief materials, comprising generators, water purification systems, sanitation supplies, mosquito nets, blankets, and sleeping bags.
The Indian Embassy in Laos reported that an Indian Air Force aircraft delivered the aid, which was formally handed over by Indian Ambassador Prashant Agrawal to the Deputy Minister of Labour and Social Welfare of Laos.
