The Government of India has 'made it clear' that the government is committed to fulfilling the needs of relief and rehabilitation in Kerala through 'domestic efforts'.
Several countries have announced 'help' for relief operations after a terrible flood in Kerala. UAE has offered Kerala 700 crore rupees, while Gulf country Qatar has announced Rs 35 crore and Maldives has announced financial assistance of Rs 35 lakh.

Earlier, in the time of the disaster in Uttarakhand, the Indian government had refused to seek any kind of financial help from foreign governments. For your information, let you know that during the Uttarakhand disaster, Japan and America offered financial assistance to the Indian government.
However, non-resident Indians and international organizations can donate to Prime Minister Relief Fund and Kerala Chief Minister Relief Fund.
According to information received from the media here, the Kerala government is ‘interested’ to take donations from the UAE.

As you know, the UAE has offered assistance of Rs 700 crore to its 'relations' with Kerala. According to official figures, around three million Indians live in the UAE and work there, 80 percent of them are from Kerala.
