  • China delivered a third batch of emergency relief supplies to Nepal aboard a People’s Liberation Army Air Force Y-20A aircraft.
  • Ten Chinese forensic experts arrived to assist Nepal with identifying victims as disaster response efforts continue.
  • The shipment also included Bailey bridges and equipment intended to help restore access in affected areas.

A Chinese Y-20A large transport aircraft carried Nepal’s latest emergency assistance from China into Kathmandu on Thursday, bringing mortuary freezers, epidemic prevention materials and daily necessities to a country still managing its disaster response.

The shipment was received at Tribhuvan International Airport, where Chinese Ambassador to Nepal Zhang Maoming and Nepal’s Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation Mahabir Pun attended a handover ceremony.

Ten Chinese forensic experts also arrived on the same flight. Described as the fourth group of Chinese experts sent to Nepal, they will support efforts to identify victims. The embassy said the experts would begin work on victim identification.

The third consignment also contains Bailey bridges, which Nepal has identified as critically needed for disaster relief and for restoring access in affected areas. Equipment needed to erect the first batch of bridges has already reached the Lizi, Nechung border port by land for handover.
