India has delivered humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan following recent floods and an earthquake that have caused widespread damage and displacement across several provinces.
The shipment includes essential relief items such as kitchen sets, hygiene kits, plastic sheets, tarpaulins, and sleeping bags. The supplies are intended to support families who have lost homes or are living in temporary shelters.
The aid comes as Afghan communities continue to face difficult conditions after heavy rains and seismic activity damaged hundreds of houses and large areas of agricultural land. Many residents have been left without adequate shelter, clean water, or basic necessities.
Officials said the assistance is part of India’s ongoing humanitarian support to Afghanistan. In a statement, Indian authorities said the country “stands in solidarity with the people of Afghanistan” and remains committed to providing assistance during times of crisis.
Images released alongside the announcement show aid packages being transported by air, indicating efforts to deliver supplies quickly to affected areas.
Humanitarian organisations have warned that urgent support is needed to prevent further hardship, particularly for families displaced by flooding. Access to shelter, sanitation, and food remains a priority in several regions.
Afghanistan is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, with seasonal flooding and earthquakes frequently affecting rural communities. Limited infrastructure and resources often make recovery efforts more challenging.
Recent floods have damaged more than a thousand homes, while the earthquake has caused casualties and additional destruction. Authorities continue to assess the full scale of the damage.
India has previously provided humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan, including food aid and medical supplies. Officials say such efforts are part of a broader commitment to regional stability and humanitarian support.
Relief efforts are ongoing, with aid agencies and local authorities working to distribute supplies and assist affected populations as quickly as possible.
