The United Arab Emirates has dispatched its fourth humanitarian flight to Nepal, following deadly floods and landslides that have devastated the country.

This addition comprises approximately 38 tonnes of aid, encompassing 500 tents and 108 relief packages, aimed at addressing the urgent needs of those affected by the disaster.
The UAE's humanitarian air bridge, established in response to the catastrophe, has been instrumental in delivering essential provisions such as food, shelter, and medical supplies, alongside logistics equipment designed to tackle immediate requirements on the ground. The UAE is also actively procuring additional humanitarian supplies from the Nepalese market to expedite the delivery process, in close coordination with Nepalese authorities to ensure that the aid reaches the communities most in need, based on priority requirements.
Nepal's Minister for Science, Technology, and Innovation, Dr. Mahabir Pun, commended the UAE's continuous relief efforts, stating that the assistance has positively impacted numerous individuals affected by the floods and landslides, while also supporting broader initiatives to alleviate the conditions in the affected regions. On the ground, a Dubai Police search-and-rescue team is actively engaged in field missions across the disaster-stricken areas, employing specialized equipment and advanced technology for search and assessment operations.
This team collaborates closely with Nepalese authorities and emergency teams to ensure a coordinated and effective response.
The UAE's response to the Nepal disaster underscores its commitment to providing rapid aid to countries hit by natural disasters and crises. The nation has long been recognized as a significant contributor to international humanitarian relief efforts, demonstrating its readiness to mobilize aid swiftly following major emergencies worldwide.
