    A military helicopter is landed or hovering low in a mountain valley clearing, while a small group of local civilians — including at least one woman holding an infant — observe from atop a rocky outcrop in the foreground. The setting appears to be a remote mountainous region with dense forested slopes and a broad open meadow serving as a makeshift landing zone. The scene suggests a humanitarian aid or disaster relief operation in a rural, high-altitude area.

    Nepalese villagers in Bigu, Nepal receive relief supplies from a U.S. Marine UH-1Y Huey, May 8. U.S. Marines and Nepalese soldiers continue to deliver supplies to the rural areas of Nepal. The Nepalese government requested assistance from U.S. Agency for International Development after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck their country April 25. In response to the Nepal earthquake, the U.S. military sent Marines, Airmen, Soldiers and Sailors as part of Joint Task Force 505 at the direction of USAID. The U.S. Marine Corps will continue to work hand-in-hand with the Nepalese government through USAID as part of Joint Task Force-505. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mandaline Hatch/Released)
