Korea will provide additional emergency relief supplies worth 130 million won ($95,850) to help people affected by the recent massive floods in Nepal, the foreign ministry said Friday.

The supplies, including 36,000 emergency thermal blankets and 2,320 heavy-duty thermal blankets, are scheduled to be sent to Nepal aboard a commercial flight Saturday, according to the ministry.

The shipment follows Korea's earlier announcement of $1 million in humanitarian aid for Nepal, made after massive floods and landslides struck the country's Rasuwa District, near the Nepal-Tibet border, on Aug. 26. That aid package will be delivered through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), a global humanitarian network that coordinates disaster response, to provide drinking water, first-aid and hygiene kits, and basic health supplies to people in the affected areas.

The disaster has left more than 1,200 people dead and nearly 6,000 people still missing, including nine Koreans. In response, Seoul dispatched a Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT) to support search and rescue efforts on the ground.

"The government will continue communicating with the Nepalese government and actively seek ways to provide assistance needed in the affected areas," the ministry said in a release.

Nepal is highly vulnerable to monsoon-related flooding and landslides during its annual rainy season, which typically runs from June through September, when heavy rainfall often triggers flash floods and mudslides in the Himalayan nation's mountainous districts. The new shipment adds to a pattern of Korean emergency assistance abroad, as Seoul has previously sent relief teams and supplies to countries hit by major disasters, part of its broader humanitarian diplomacy that pairs government aid with coordination through international organizations like the IFRC.
