The UAE has dispatched a plane carrying 38 tonnes of urgent medical and food supplies to Afghanistan.
The relief materials will help ease the sufferings of thousands of families affected by recent earthquakes that struck the country's northeastern region.
The earthquakes resulted in numerous deaths and injuries and destroyed basic infrastructure.
The provision of these supplies is part of the UAE's efforts to provide urgent relief to countries affected by natural disasters and extend a helping hand to vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly.
During 2021-2022, the UAE launched an air bridge that sent 28 aircraft carrying 623 tonnes of medical and food items to Afghanistan, reaching out to nearly 1.1 million people.
In addition to disptaching relief items, the UAE built a 1,000 square metre field hospital equipped with 75 beds to help those affected by an earthquake that struck Khost in southeastern Afghanistan last June.
