Nepal Tests Giant Drone to Deliver Aid to Flood Victims

Rescue teams in Nepal have begun testing a giant drone to deliver critical supplies to flood and landslide victims stranded across a river.

The operation follows last week’s disaster, which damaged bridges, destroyed roads and brought down utility poles. The damage cut transport and communications links for thousands of residents.

The drone tests aim to reach communities that rescuers cannot access through normal routes. The available account ends as teams begin detection and response operations, without giving further details about the drone’s capacity or the aid deliveries.
