Earthquake: New aid package arrives from Qatar

KABUL (Pajhwok): A new humanitarian aid package has arrived in Kabul from Qatar to assist earthquake victims in eastern provinces.

In a statement, the Qatari Foreign Ministry said the 10th Amiri Air Force aircraft arrived in the Afghan capital, carrying urgent medical aid provided by the Qatar Fund For Development (QFFD) to support the healthcare sector, as part of the airlift being operated by the State of Qatar to help alleviate the suffering of the brotherly Afghan people following the earthquake that struck eastern Afghanistan.

The aid includes essential medicines, intravenous fluids, and a number of vital supplies needed to save lives, aimed at strengthening the capacity of hospitals and frontline health facilities to meet urgent needs.

The Ministry of Public Health in Afghanistan received the aid to ensure its prompt and effective distribution to the affected communities.

These efforts come as part of the State of Qatar’s continued support for the Afghan people and reflects the country’s firm commitment to humanitarian solidarity and support for those impacted by natural disasters.

Qatar continues its steady approach to providing humanitarian aid, despite the Israeli attack, driven by its ethical responsibility and leading humanitarian role at both regional and international levels.
