Скачать или смотреть Operation Dost: India’s sends emergency relief to quake-hit Syria

India’s humanitarian aid to the earthquake-hit country of Syria continued as the seventh C-17 military plane carrying humanitarian relief material under ‘Operation Dost’ reached the West Asian country.

With the latest flight, India’s aid to the war-ravaged country increased from six to 23 tonnes.

Earlier on February 9, the Syrian Embassy in India had asked the Indians for help. It urged Indians to donate to quake victims in the aftermath of Monday’s earthquake, which devastated Syria and Turkey and killed thousands of people.

“7th #OperationDost flight reached Syria with over 23 tonnes of relief material, including gensets, solar lamps, emergency & critical care medicines, & disaster relief consumables. Received at Damascus airport by Deputy Minister of Local Administration & Environment Moutaz Douaji,” MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi tweeted on Sunday.

After Syria, the C-17 reached Turkey’s Adana airport to deliver humanitarian aid that consists of medical equipment like patient monitors, ECG, syringe pumps and disaster relief material, along with supplies for the Indian teams on the ground.

Like Turkey, Syria also bore the devastating effects of aftershocks and tremors. However, unlike Turkey, aid is reaching war-torn Syria at a slow pace. The country is witnessing a rising number of deaths amid growing problems of food, shelter and clothing shortages.
