India dispatched 15 tons of humanitarian supplies to Myanmar on Saturday as part of “Operation Brahma,” following the catastrophic 7.7-magnitude earthquake that shook the country and parts of Thailand. The supplies was transported to Yangon by an Indian Air Force C-130J military transport plane, which would help millions of survivors in the neighboring countries. India serves as a first response in Operation Brahma to aid the people of Myanmar who were impacted by yesterday’s devastating earthquake. The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, stated, “Our first tranche of 15 tonnes of relief material, including tents, blankets, sleeping bags, food packets, hygiene kits, generators, and essential medicines, has landed in Yangon.”
Tents, sleeping bags, blankets, prepared meals, water purifiers, hygiene kits, solar lamps, generator sets, and necessary medications, such as antibiotics, Paracetamol, canulas, syringes, gloves, cotton bandages, and urine bags, are among the relief supplies. A path of devastation was left behind after a series of strong earthquakes shook Myanmar and neighboring Thailand. According to sources, 1,002 people have died as a result of the strong earthquake. According to reports, 30 people are still unaccounted for and 2,376 people have been hurt. Buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure were toppled throughout Thailand and Myanmar, causing extensive damage. Rescue and recovery crews faced further difficulties on Saturday when a 4.3-magnitude aftershock struck the area following the strong 7.5-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28.
