India is sending a team of burn specialists and medical staff to Dhaka to assist victims of Monday’s deadly fighter jet crash that killed at least 31 people, most of them children.

“A team of burn-specialist Doctors and Nurses with necessary medical support are scheduled to visit Dhaka shortly to treat the victims. They will make an assessment of the condition of patients with recommendation for further treatment and specialised care in India as necessary. Additional medical teams may also follow depending on their preliminary assessment and treatment," a statement by the Ministry Of External Affairs released Tuesday said.

The move comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed condolences on July 21, assuring Bangladesh of India’s full support following the country’s worst air disaster in decades.
