New Delhi: India has delivered humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan following recent floods and an earthquake that have caused widespread hardship.
The relief material includes kitchen sets, hygiene kits, plastic sheets, tarpaulins, and sleeping bags. The assistance aims to support affected communities facing urgent needs in the aftermath of the disasters.
In a post on X, Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, said India extended support in response to the crisis. He stated that India stood in solidarity with the people of Afghanistan and remained committed to providing humanitarian assistance during this challenging period.
The aid delivery reflects India’s continued efforts to assist neighbouring countries during natural disasters and humanitarian emergencies.
A 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck northern Afghanistan on April 3, leaving at least 12 people dead in areas around Kabul. The tremor originated at a depth of 150 km and was strong enough to be felt beyond Afghanistan’s borders. Residents across the Delhi-NCR region experienced the impact, while parts of north India, including Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Haryana, also reported noticeable tremors.
