Pakistan has sent its first cargo of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, which included wheat flour, cooking oil and medicines.
The first tranche, of 30 tons, arrived at Kabul airport on Thursday and was handed over to Haji Omer Sahib, a senior official from the Ministry of Public Health, by Pakistan’s ambassador to Afghanistan Mansoor Ahmad Khan.
Speaking at the handover, Ahmad Khan reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to supporting efforts for lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan and pledged to assist the country in averting a humanitarian crisis.
According to Pakistan officials, plane-loads and truck-loads of aid will come into Afghanistan in the coming days and will be delivered to not only Kabul but also to Kandahar, Khost, and Herat provinces.
