External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India is committed to extending humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people in this challenging time.

“At this time of hardship being faced by Afghan people due to recent floods and earthquake, India delivers HADR [Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief] materials, including kitchen sets, hygiene kits, plastic sheets, tarpaulins, sleeping bags, and more,” he said.

“India stands in solidarity with the people of Afghanistan and remains committed to extending humanitarian assistance and support during this challenging time,” Mr. Jaiswal said on social media.

At least 12 people were killed on the outskirts of Kabul after a 5.8 magnitude earthquake rocked northern Afghanistan on April 3. The quake, centred at a depth of 150 km, sent shockwaves to several parts of Delhi NCR. Tremors were also felt in other parts of north India, including Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Haryana.
