Watch: Emirates Provides Aid in Indian Floods

Emirates SkyCargo has carried flood relief cargo of over 175 tons to Kerala, India, joining the UAE community in their support of the people of Kerala in a desperate time of need.

Floods have decimated parts of Kerala and led to fatalities in the region, while many still suffer.

Over a dozen flights have made their way to India from the UAE, and the air cargo operator will transport the relief goods, which have been donated by various UAE-based businesses and organisations, to Thiruvananthapuram - the nearest online Emirates station to the areas most affected by the flood.

The goods, including lifesaving boats, blankets and dry food items, will be handed over to the local flood relief and aid organisations for distribution.
