ISLAMABAD, 02 October 2021, (TON): Four trucks carrying 70 tonnes of humanitarian aid handed were over to Afghanistan as Pakistan continues to support Afghan people to avert the looming humanitarian catastrophe.

The trucks carrying flour, sugar, rice, oil and pulses were handed over by the Pak-Afghan Cooperation Forum via Ghulam Khan border.

Ameer of Khost was present to receive the aid from Assistant Commissioner of Miranshah.

Besides its own ongoing efforts, Pakistan has also been urging the international community to extend humanitarian aid to Afghanistan for the socioeconomic development of the war-torn country.

In their multiple interactions with world leaders, both Prime Minister Imran Khan and Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi have asked the world community not to repeat the mistake of abandoning Afghanistan as it would lead to negative consequences of rise in terror incidents and spillover negative effects into neighbouring countries.

Earlier this month, Pakistan had delivered another consignment of relief goods to Afghanistan’s Mazar-e-Sharif.

Pakistan’s ambassador to Afghanistan Mansoor Ahmed Khan had said on Twitter "These goods were delivered by our Consul General to Governor Bulkh Maulvi Qudratullah."
