Typhoon Yagi hits Myanmar, Indian govt commences rapid preparation to deploy humanitarian aid, disaster relief

By IBNS
Sep 15, 2024..

The Indian Navy has commenced rapid preparations to deploy Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations in response to the flash floods in Myanmar.


Several regions across the country have been severely impacted by Typhoon Yagi, originating from the South China Sea.

"Eastern Naval Command in co-cordination with Eastern Fleet and other supporting units - Base Victualling Yard (BVY), Material Organisation and INHS Kalyani have successfully completed the overnight loading of HADR pallets including HADR gears, drinking water, victualling rations and medicines etc., onto Indian naval ships destined from Visakhapatnam for HADR operations in Yangon," read a statement issued by the Indian government.

This rapid mobilisation comes despite the short notice, showcasing the Navy’s ability to swiftly respond to humanitarian crises in the region.

More than 100 people have died after flooding and mudslides triggered by the typhoon hit hammered Myanmar.

Spokesman for the nation's ruling junta, Zaw Min Tun, said in a statement on Sunday as quoted by BBC that 113 people had been confirmed dead, with a further 64 missing - though regional reports suggest the true death toll may be higher.

The typhoon, which is considered one of the deadliest to sweep through the region in 2024, disrupted normal life and caused severe destruction in Vietnam, Laos, the Chinese island of Hainan and the Philippines.

The typhoon was believed to have killed over 200 people  before it reached Myanmar.
