A devastating 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan, claiming at least 2,205 lives and injuring 3,640 people, while damaging over 8,000 homes. The disaster has led to a severe shortage of food, water, shelter, and emergency medical supplies, raising fears of a humanitarian crisis. In response, Bangladesh has dispatched urgent humanitarian aid to support the affected Afghan population.
According to a press release issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Friday, September 5, a Bangladesh Air Force transport aircraft departed for Kabul at 8:00 AM carrying 11.227 tons of relief supplies. The aid includes tents, blankets, winter clothing, drinking water, dry food, clothing, biscuits, milk powder, noodles, and medicines. The aircraft is scheduled to return to Bangladesh on the same day after handing over the relief materials.
