At Dubai International
Airport, workers loaded crates packed with relief aid into a Boeing 747
destined for Nepal, just over a four-hour flight away.
The Gulf
commercial hub is home to a sprawling logistical and warehouse facility
known as International Humanitarian City that is used by United Nations
agencies and NGOs to deploy humanitarian aid.
The chief executive
of IHC, Shaima al-Zarooni, said relief workers have faced difficulties
in delivering needed aid such as temporary shelters, satellite
communications gear and medical equipment because of closures and
congestion at the airport in Kathmandu.
The United Arab Emirates,
which includes Dubai, announced on Sunday it was deploying
search-and-rescue team to Nepal on Sunday to help with recovery and
relief efforts. More pics after cut....
