The Bayat Foundation, in partnership with Afghan Wireless Communication Company (AWCC), has launched a large-scale relief effort for victims of the recent earthquake in eastern Afghanistan, pledging both immediate humanitarian aid and long-term reconstruction support.

Officials confirmed that five planes loaded with food and non-food supplies are being sent to Kabul in the coming days, with distribution to follow in the hardest-hit areas.

The assistance includes specialized nutritional packages designed to help millions of Afghan children at risk of malnutrition.

Bayat Group Founder and Chairman, Dr. Ehsanullah Bayat, underscored the scale of the mission: “Our five planes will arrive in Kabul, and distribution will begin. This is a major initiative, and we believe we will be able to provide special malnutrition foods to more than two or three million children.”

During his visit to earthquake-affected communities this week, Bayat also announced a housing reconstruction program for families who lost their homes.

He said the Bayat Foundation and AWCC will build earthquake-resistant and culturally appropriate housing in consultation with Afghan authorities. “The homes being built by the Bayat Foundation and Afghan Wireless are durable structures that will last for many years,” he noted.

Bayat called on Afghan business leaders to join in relief efforts, stressing the importance of collective action to help communities recover.

Local officials meanwhile praised the Foundation’s rapid response.

Abdullah Haqqani, Deputy Governor of Kunar, said: “We are very thankful to Dr. Ehsanullah Bayat for the commitment he has made to us. We have one hundred percent trust that he will fulfill this work.

“We also deeply appreciate the assistance provided by the Bayat Foundation to the earthquake victims.”

Earthquake survivors also expressed gratitude. One resident in Kunar said: “We are very thankful to the Bayat Foundation for always lending a helping hand to their compatriots whenever and wherever needed.”

The Bayat Foundation has built a reputation as one of Afghanistan’s first responders in times of crisis.

Over the past two decades, it has consistently mobilized aid during earthquakes, floods, and other disasters, while also investing in the country’s long-term recovery.

Beyond emergency relief, the Foundation has supported the construction of hospitals, clinics, mosques and schools, advanced education and healthcare initiatives, and delivered vital social services.

Delawar says Afghanistan has achieved security and unity after 47 years

Published

Shahabuddin Delawar, Head of the Commission for Contact with Afghan Personalities, says Afghanistan has achieved security, unified governance, brotherhood, and progress for the first time in 47 years under the administration of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA).

Speaking at a meeting in Kabul on Saturday, Delawar said Afghanistan had lacked a unified system over the past four decades, but added that with the return of the Islamic Emirate, the issue has now been resolved.

Referring to Ashura commemorations held on Friday, he said the occasion was observed peacefully across the country under full security.

Delawar also urged exiled Afghan politicians to return, saying the commission was established to serve Afghans and address the concerns of returning figures. He added that any legal disputes involving returnees would be handled exclusively through the commission.

He further said the Islamic Emirate has expanded treatment centers and intensified anti-narcotics efforts since regaining power, claiming this has led to a significant decline in drug addiction.

Addressing the issue of international legitimacy, Delawar said he understood why the United States has not recognized the Islamic Emirate, arguing that Washington suffered a defeat in Afghanistan that it cannot easily overlook.

“They have suffered a major defeat that they cannot forget; if they recognize us, they will face questions from their own people,” Delawar said.
