Nepal-Tibet disaster: Singapore to send police officers specialising in disaster victim identification
Singapore will also deliver humanitarian assistance comprising both civilian and Singapore Armed Forces supplies to Nepal, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) will deploy a specialized team to Nepal to aid in the aftermath of flash floods and landslides that struck the country’s border with Tibet. This comes following Nepal’s request for assistance and in line with Singapore’s earlier contribution of US$100,000 to the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) for public fundraising efforts.
The team will include officers specializing in disaster victim identification. In addition to this, Singapore will deliver humanitarian assistance comprising both civilian and SAF supplies to support Nepal’s ongoing relief efforts. This is on top of the SRC’s fundraising drive which has raised around S$1 million thus far. At least nine Singaporeans were reported missing in the disaster.
The Singapore government will continue to work closely with Nepal on providing humanitarian assistance.
