India launches “Operation Amistad,” a humanitarian assistance mission to Venezuela after twin earthquakes damage infrastructure and cause casualties. Multiple reports cite a Ministry of External Affairs statement saying two Indian Air Force C-17 Globemaster aircraft depart for Venezuela on June 26 carrying humanitarian relief supplies and a 41-member Army medical and rescue team. The deployments include a fully equipped Army field hospital unit and medical support intended for emergency care, trauma management and surgical assistance in the earthquake-affected areas. Reports also say the cargo includes indigenously developed BHISHM Cubes—modular, rapidly deployable field hospital systems designed to be operational within minutes and equipped with medical oxygen, portable ventilation and surgical instruments. The medical contingent is described as comprising military doctors and rescue personnel. The mission is intended to work with Venezuelan authorities on search and rescue and ongoing relief efforts. Indian officials—including external affairs leadership and the Prime Minister—are reported to have expressed support and the operation is described as part of India’s broader international disaster response capabilities, with acknowledgements from Venezuelan representatives for the aid.
