Qatar announced the launch of an air bridge Saturday to deliver aid to Afghanistan following a devastating earthquake, one day after confirming that nine aircraft had already arrived in Kabul.
The Foreign Ministry said that “the Qatari Armed Forces have launched an air bridge of urgent humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Internal Security Force.”
The statement said the initiative was carried out “under the directives of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.”
A video accompanying the announcement showed that the aid includes field hospitals, medical supplies, food, shelter, and rescue equipment to support victims of the deadly earthquake in Afghanistan.
The Foreign Ministry said Friday that “five Qatari Amiri Air Force aircraft carrying humanitarian aid provided by the Qatar Fund for Development arrived in the Afghan capital, Kabul. The aid is part of the airlift being operated by the State of Qatar to help alleviate the suffering of the brotherly Afghan people following the earthquake that struck eastern Afghanistan. This brings the total number of aircraft to nine.”
