SINGAPORE: The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) will deliver humanitarian aid to communities in Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam that have been affected by Typhoon Yagi.
An A330 multi-role tanker transport and two C-130 transport aircraft will be deployed to deliver the aid supplies, said the Ministry for Defence (MINDEF) on Wednesday (Sep 18) in a news release. The supplies include blankets, hygiene kits, water filters, collapsible water containers and meal packs.
On top of drawing from SAF’s stockpiles, the items were consolidated with the help of non-governmental organisation partners, MINDEF said.
They include Caritas Singapore, Humanity Matters, Singapore Red Cross, Relief Singapore as well as the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Centre).
