A third UAE relief plane has landed in Nepal carrying a specialised search and rescue team from Dubai Police, along with 20 tonnes of aid for people affected by floods and landslides.

Nepalese and UAE officials received the plane, including Nepal’s Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation Mahabir Pun and UAE Ambassador Abdullah Al Shamsi. The flight brings the total UAE aid delivered to Nepal to 148 tonnes.

The Dubai Police team arrived with advanced search equipment to support operations in damaged areas. UAE relief officials said the assistance includes food parcels, essential supplies and urgent medical aid, distributed in coordination with Nepalese authorities.

The airlift follows UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s directive to allocate $10 million for humanitarian efforts in Nepal through the UAE Aid Agency. Officials said they were also sourcing supplies locally so assistance could reach affected communities more quickly.
