India on Thursday (August 27, 2026) sent a second tranche of relief supplies in a military transport aircraft to flood-ravaged Nepal.
The first tranche of relief materials was sent hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to his Nepalese counterpart Balendra Shah and assured him of all possible humanitarian assistance to deal with the situation. “India is ready to provide all possible humanitarian assistance to Nepal.
“A second flight has just taken off, carrying 37.5 tonnes of HADR material, medicines & food packets for Nepal,” External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on social media. “India remains in close and continuous touch with the Nepalese authorities.We will continue to strongly support the ongoing relief efforts,” he said. “The people of India stand in solidarity with their sisters and brothers in Nepal at this difficult time,” Mr. Modi had said on social media after the conversation. Our teams are coordinating closely on rescue and relief efforts,” he said.
