India sends humanitarian aid to
Kyrgyzstan
01/07/2010
India has been closely following recent internal developments in
Kyrgyzstan, a friendly country in our extended neighbourhood. We are
happy to note that calm has returned to southern Kyrgyzstan after
the unfortunate incidents of violence in mid-June. The events,
however, left thousands in need of urgent humanitarian assistance.
In response to the appeal by the Kyrgyz Government, the Government
of India has decided to provide urgent humanitarian aid to the
people of Kyrgyzstan, in their hour of need. The assistance
comprises food items, medicines and tents and will be despatched in
two Indian Air Force IL-76 aircraft over the next few days. The
supplies will be delivered to the Ministry of Emergency Situations
of Kyrgyzstan at Osh, through our Embassy in Kyrgyzstan.
