India has sent 1,000 metric tonnes of rice as part of humanitarian aid to drought-hit Malawi.
The Southeast African nation has been reeling under dry spells that caused widespread damage to crops and negatively affected food production.
"Humanitarian assistance in solidarity with the people of Malawi. A consignment of 1000MT rice departed today for Malawi, to address the consequences of the severe drought caused by El Nino phenomenon," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on X on Saturday.

The dry spells have severely crippled the country's food supplies.
