New Delhi/IBNS: India has granted permission to Japan to pick up humanitarian supplies from the UNHCR depot in the country for war-torn Ukraine and its neighbouring countries.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has issued a statement which reads, "We have conveyed our approval for picking of such supplies from India using commercial aircraft.

"We had also received a request for overflight clearance for Japanese SDF aircraft carrying humanitarian cargo for Ukraine. This was processed and approved as per established norms."

Japan plans to load humanitarian aids like blankets at a stopover in India to transport them to Ukraine's neighbours, Poland and Romania.

Ukraine has been fighting the war declared by Russia since late February.
