An India===Indian Air Force C-17 aircraft delivered 30 tonnes of relief supplies, including 12 tonnes of medical aid and 18 tonnes of disaster relief material, to Antananarivo. The aid package consists of essential items such as life-saving medicines, surgical supplies, tents, water storage tanks, dignity kits, and ready-to-eat meals, aimed at addressing immediate humanitarian needs. The India===Ministry of External Affairs, through its Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, affirmed India's solidarity with Madagascar and its commitment to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) operations. This initiative is part of India's broader policy to assist partner countries during natural disasters, with Mozambique also receiving aid for flood relief.
