Which method was used to deliver supplies to Nepal after the disaster?

• A. Drones only
• B. Ground convoys
• C. Helicopters delivered supplies
• D. Ships

Answer: (C)

Access in rugged terrain after a disaster relies on airlift to reach remote communities. Nepal’s earthquake damaged many roads and blocked routes, so delivering to hillside villages required air delivery. Helicopters can quickly reach isolated areas, land on small clearings, and bring essential supplies directly to people in need, making them the best fit when ground transport is hindered by landslides and collapsed roads. Drones have limited payloads and range, ground convoys often cannot pass blocked routes, and Nepal’s landlocked position means sea shipments can’t reach disaster zones directly without overland transport anyway. So helicopters delivered supplies.
