In implementation of the directives of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, four Qatari Amiri Air Force aircraft arrived Wednesday in the Afghan capital, Kabul, carrying humanitarian aid, including two field hospitals, food and medical supplies, and shelter materials provided by the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) for approximately 11,000 beneficiaries.
This aid is part of an air bridge operated by Qatar to help alleviate the suffering of the brotherly Afghan people following the earthquake that struck eastern Afghanistan, which resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries.
Qatar's delegation to Afghanistan was headed by HE the Minister of State for International Co-operation Dr Maryam bint Ali bin Nasser al-Misnad, with the participation of representatives from the Qatar Armed Forces, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Qatar International Search and Rescue Group of the Internal Security Force (Lekhwiya) and QFFD.
This aid comes within the framework of Qatar's continued support for the Afghan people and reflects its unwavering commitment to humanitarian support for those affected by natural disasters.
