India has dispatched a field hospital unit, medical personnel, and humanitarian relief supplies to earthquake-hit Venezuela under Operation Amistad.
The assistance comes as Venezuela grapples with the aftermath of powerful earthquakes that have killed at least 1,430 people.
Announcing the development, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said the relief package includes a Field Hospital Unit, medicines, medical equipment, and other essential supplies to support ongoing rescue and recovery efforts.
Two Indian Air Force C-17 aircraft transited through Abidjan en route to Venezuela carrying 35 tonnes of relief equipment, an Indian Army Field Hospital contingent, and two BHISHM cubes.
The team is equipped to provide emergency medical care, trauma management, life-saving surgical support, and other essential healthcare services to those affected by the earthquake.
