In solidarity with the people of Myanmar, Bangladesh has promptly responded to the devastating earthquake of 7.7 magnitude that struck northern Myanmar on 28 March.

Two Bangladesh Air Force/Army aircrafts (C-130 and CASA) landed at Yangon Airport today (30 March), carrying 16.5 tonnes of emergency relief materials, including tents, food packets, medicines, water, hygiene kits, plastic sheets, mosquito nets, solar lights and other essential supplies.

Bangladesh also stands ready to deploy a 50-member rescue team, including a dedicated 21-member medical team, engineers, and fire service and civil defense personnel, to support search and rescue efforts, the ambassador said.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and all those affected," he said.

As a close neighbour, Bangladesh remains committed to assisting the people of Myanmar in their time of need, the ambassador added.
