New Delhi - Two more Indian aircrafts on Wednesday landed with medicines and tents to Cyclone-hit Burma's former capital city of Rangoon as a follow up supply of relief after India has dispatch two naval ships on Monday.

In a Press statement, the Indian Defense Ministry said, it will also send another aircraft with supplies for the cyclone victims on Thursday.

The two naval ships, dispatched on Monday, with medicines, food, tents and clothing have reportedly arrived Rangoon on early Wednesday.

India is one of the over 20 countries and International Aid agencies that rushed to Burma after the Southeast Asian nation was hit by a monster cyclone on Friday and Saturday, causing over 50,000 deaths and at least a million homeless.
