Doha, August 31 (QNA) - A Qatari Armed Forces aircraft arrived in the Republic of Nepal carrying urgent humanitarian aid for people affected by the floods that struck the country.

The response comes as part of the State of Qatar's longstanding approach of standing by countries and peoples affected by crises and disasters, based on its belief that international cooperation extends beyond emergency humanitarian response to contributing to addressing crises and strengthening communities' capacity to withstand and recover from them.
These efforts also reflect the State of Qatar's commitment to strengthening international cooperation and humanitarian and development partnerships, and working with countries, organizations and international partners to help address crises, mitigate their impact, and reinforce Qatar's position as an active and trusted partner in international relief and development efforts.
The State of Qatar has reaffirmed its continued support for international efforts to respond to disasters and crises and strengthen solidarity among countries and peoples, contributing to building more resilient communities and reflecting its steadfast commitment to humanitarian principles and international cooperation.
