Humanitarian response to the 2015 Nepal earthquake

A earthquake struck Nepal[1][2] at 11:56:55 NST on 25 April 2015 with a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.8 or 8.1Ms[3] and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of IX (Violent). It was the most powerful earthquake to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake.[4][5][6] Many thousands of people died as a result, with most casualties reported in Nepal, including on Mount Everest, and adjoining areas of India, China, and Bangladesh.

Within minutes of the earthquake,[7] the Government of India, via the Indian Armed Forces, initiated Operation Maitri (English: Operation Amity), a humanitarian mission with the primary objective of conducting relief and rescue operations in Nepal. Many countries and organizations have donated aid including the United Kingdom, which has been the largest bilateral aid contributor,[8][9] China, and the United States, all of which provided or funded helicopters as requested by the Nepali government.[10] Numerous charitable organizations, such as UNICEF and Doctors Without Borders, are delivering aid on the ground.[11] Israel provided a large team of people to the relief effort in Nepal, second only to India.[12]

Government of India was among the first to respond to the crisis, by launching a full-fledged rescue and relief operation codenamed Maitri (Operation Amity). Within 15 minutes of the quake,[7] Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded, directing immediate dispatch of relief and rescue teams, including medical teams, to Nepal. By the same afternoon, ten teams from India's National Disaster Response Force, totaling 450 personnel and including several search and rescue dogs, had already arrived in Nepal; ten additional Indian Air Force planes soon departed to join them with further aid.[26] In the immediate aftermath of the quake, India sent 43 tons of relief material, including tents and food.[27] Prime Minister Modi spoke with Nepalese Prime Minister Sushil Koirala and assured him of India's support and assistance.[28]

Nearly 1,000 National Disaster Response Force personnel were also pressed into service, and a "big evacuation" of Indian citizens was underway through the road route. The government deployed 35 buses to evacuate stranded Indians in Nepal via two routes—Sonauli and Raxaul—along the Indo-Nepal border.

An inter-ministerial team comprising senior officials from the ministries of Home, Defence, External Affairs and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) have gone to Nepal to coordinate rescue and relief operations. The decision to send the high-level team was taken at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday. The team will coordinate with the Nepalese government in the rescue, relief and salvage operations and assess the damage. India is sending Unmanned aerial vehicles to Kathmandu to map the destruction in Nepal and help channelize resources effectively. The UAVs will also help in locating survivors in half-collapsed buildings and can be used to look through balconies or windows for any trapped victims.

The Indian government is sending teams of senior executives and engineers from state-run energy companies to Nepal in order to restore power lines and ensure uninterrupted fuel supply. In the first phase, a team of five senior executives from the Indian Oil Corporation and more than a dozen engineers from transmission undertaking PowerGrid Corporation of India have gone to Nepal.[44] By the end of Monday, a further 5 tons of milk, light vehicles, a reverse osmosis (RO) plant, oxygen regenerators, medical supplies, blankets, tents, 14 tons of food (ITC noodles) were sent to Nepal, and personnel including 3 National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) teams, 2 Field Hospitals, 2 Air Force Communication Centre Vehicles were also sent.

Tuesday, 28 April

By Tuesday, 28 April, India had deployed 18 medical teams and three field hospitals, as well as two mobile teams of specialist doctors. With the weather improving, the Indian Air Force and the Indian Army fanned out to remote areas while continuing to transport essential items from various bases to Kathmandu and evacuating distressed persons to India. A 41-member medical team, along with medical supplies, was sent to Nepal from Rajasthan. The Sashastra Seema Bal dispatched over three dozen vehicles, including ambulances and water tankers to Nepal from its border camps. The Indian government dispatched a further 220 tons of food packets and dry rations, 50 tons of water, 2 tons of medicines, 40 tents and 1,400 blankets to Nepal.[46] The Indian Army established a 45 bed hospital at Lagankhel, Nepal to treat those injured in the quake.[47]

Despite their widespread help, India's relief operation was not without controversies. Local & international media and citizens accused Indian Army of not obliging to Nepalese authority, carrying out relief operation at their own will without any coordination, and even blocking the only international airport with their military cargo planes waiting to fly Indian citizens back home, which delayed aid and relief from other nations as their relief planes were grounded at various airports in India for days.[51][52][53] Another report accused Indian Army helicopters flying too close to China's no fly zone with the intent of spying.[53] Indian media faced a similar backlash for their insensitive reporting, to which the Nepalese responded by the hashtag #GoHomeIndianMedia on Twitter which trended within few hours.[52] The total help by India can be summarised as follows: Material aid in Operation Maitri: • 8 tons of baby food • Over 100 tons of medical supplies • 75,000 vials of insulin • Over 200 tons of water • 100,000 bottles of water every day from the Indian Railways • Hundreds of tons of food and dry rations • 43 tons of relief material • 10 tons of blankets • Several tons of stretchers, tents • A reverse osmosis (RO) plant • Oxygen regenerators & cylinders • 345 tons of relief material, dry food and essential medicines from the state governments of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh
