After a horrific and disastrous cyclone Idai in Mozambique, yesterday, the Indian Navy has rescued over 192 people as a part of relief operations. The Navy has also set up medical camps, assisting 1,381 affected people.

On March 15, Cyclone Idai has destroyed almost everything in East and Southern Africa and many people lost their lives and shelters. There was no power and food for a few days in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi.

It is reported that Mozambique has raised a request and India immediately diverted three naval ships, INS Sujata, ICGS Sarathi and INS Shardul to the port city of Beira. These ships are busy with Humanitarian Assistance Disaster Relief from past few days in coordination with local authorities and the High Commission of India, Maputo.

Moreover, India's Chetak helicopter helped in finding out the intensity of the disaster through an aerial survey. It could help victims by dropping food, medicines, clothes, and water packets in the cyclone-affected areas. We salute the Indian Navy as it is the first responder to the cyclone Idai in Mozambique.
