India to fly in more aid for Myanmar
May 7, 2008: (The Times of India) New Delhi: India is despatching more assistance to cyclone-hit Myanmar in the form of two AN-32 aircraft carrying relief and medical supplies. India had earlier sent two ships carrying food and other relief items to Yangon on Monday.
The ministry of external affairs
said on Tuesday that all possible help has been offered to the country which
was hit by cyclone ‘Nargis' on May 3.
"Recent reports reveal that the death toll there is reaching immense
proportions. About 10,000 people are dead and several thousand have gone
missing. The external affairs minister has written to his counterpart
expressing his condolences and also conveyed India's readiness to help the
country rebuild," said the MEA spokesperson.
The two aircraft will fly out to Yangon from Kanpur air base on Wednesday morning.
