Kabul [Afghanistan], April 1 (ANI): In order to help and provide the earthquake victims of Afghanistan with sufficient aid, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) sent urgent medical and food supplies to the victims of the disaster, Khaama Press reported.

The announcement of aid being provided to afghan people was made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the United Arab Emirates on Friday.

“Today, the UAE sent a plane carrying 38 tons of urgent medical and food supplies to Afghanistan to meet the needs of thousands of Afghan families affected by earthquakes that recently struck northeastern Afghanistan,” Khaama Press reported citing the UAE ministry.
