UAE sends about 30 tons of relief to Afghanistan

Following a terrible earthquake that is believed to have killed 1,150 people, the UAE has dispatched 30 tons of supplies to Afghanistan, according to a report from the Emirates News Agency WAM on Friday.
According to reports, the assistance was deployed on the president of the UAE’s order to oversee an air bridge for the victims and was in the form of food supplies. The Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation and the Emirates Red Crescent completed the assignment under the direction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, according to WAM.

According to Dr. Mohamed Ayoya, a UNICEF official in Afghanistan, his organization has sent medical professionals and sanitary materials to help the remaining families. Cholera is a serious issue for those who have been made homeless due to a broken water supply and an ongoing outbreak of diarrhea. Ayoya made those remarks on Friday after an aftershock claimed further lives.

Even before the Taliban took over last August as the US and its NATO allies withdrew their forces, ending a 20-year war, Afghanistan’s economy was dependent on international donor support and aid.
Aid organizations still functioning in Afghanistan are already rushing to deliver food, tents, and medical supplies to the remote earthquake-affected area, but UN agencies are facing a $3 billion funding gap this year.

Trucks carrying food and other supplies arrived from Pakistan, while humanitarian aid planes from Iran and Qatar also touched down. India dispatched a technical team to the nation’s capital, Kabul, to manage the distribution of aid. India declared that its assistance would be given to the Afghan Red Crescent Society and a UN organization on the ground.
