The second shipment of emergency aid provided by the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) arrived on Wednesday in Afghanistan on board a Qatari Armed Forces plane, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The shipment containing 13 tonnes of urgent medical aid is to support the Afghan people as part of an urgent relief campaign due to the earthquake that recently struck the provinces of Khost and Paktika.

In cooperation with Qatar Charity, via the airlift of the Qatari Armed Forces, the shipment comes as a continuation of the previous aid that was delivered on June 25 to the affected people in Afghanistan.
