The Indian Air Force (IAF) has dispatched its C-17 Globemaster aircraft to conduct Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) missions in Laos (Vientiane, Laos) and Vietnam (Hanoi), following the severe flooding triggered by Typhoon Yagi.
The efficient loading and coordination of aid were managed by the C-17 team at Hindan. The relief materials include:
- 35 tons aid for Vietnam, comprising water purification supplies, water containers, blankets, kitchen utensils and solar lanterns
- 10 tons aid for Cambodia, including generators, water purification items, hygiene products, mosquito nets, blankets and sleeping bags
The C-17 Globemaster, known for its extensive cargo capacity and long-range operational capabilities, is ideal for transporting essential supplies and personnel to areas affected by disasters.
