Pakistan faces severe criticism after sending expired food and medical supplies to cyclone-ravaged Sri Lanka, where over 330 people have died in floods and landslides. As Sri Lankan officials flag the unusable aid through diplomatic channels, India has responded with extensive relief operations including 53 tons of emergency supplies and specialized rescue teams. The disaster has claimed more than 1,200 lives across South Asia, with thousands still stranded and conditions expected to worsen.
