India sends life-saving medicines to Chad

As part of assistance to Chad to deal with the fallout of a devastating fire India sent Chad nearly 2,300 kg of medical supplies, including life-saving antibiotics, to the African country.

A devastating explosion at a military ammunition depot in the Goudji area of Chad’s capital N’Djamena killed at least nine people and injured 46 others.

The fire reportedly triggered a series of blasts in the area.

“Extending humanitarian assistance to Chad: India-Vishwabandhu, a friend to the world!” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on social media platform X.

“India extends medical aid consisting of essential life-saving antibiotics and general medicines to the government of Republic of Chad in response to a deadly fire incident. The consignment weighing approximately 2,300 kg departed from Delhi today,” he said.
