India Sends 2nd Aid Shipment to Afghanistan in Two Weeks

India has sent its second humanitarian aid shipment to Afghanistan in the last two weeks, delivering emergency relief supplies for people affected by recent floods and earthquakes, the Indian foreign ministry said.

India has sent humanitarian assistance and emergency relief supplies to Afghanistan to support people affected by recent floods and earthquakes, the Indian foreign ministry said. The shipment comes as many Afghan communities continue to face severe hardship after natural disasters damaged homes, disrupted livelihoods and left vulnerable families in urgent need of basic assistance.

Foreign ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the aid was being provided in response to the suffering caused by the recent disasters. “At this time of hardship being faced by Afghan people due to recent floods and earthquake, India delivers HADR materials, including kitchen sets, hygiene kits, plastic sheets, tarpaulins, sleeping bags, and more,” he said.

According to Indian officials, the relief package includes a range of essential household and emergency items intended to meet the immediate needs of affected families. Such supplies are especially important for households that have lost shelter, belongings or access to basic services, and they can help ease short-term suffering in disaster-hit communities.

Jaiswal also reaffirmed India’s continued humanitarian commitment to Afghanistan, stressing New Delhi’s support for people facing difficult conditions. “India stands in solidarity with the people of Afghanistan and remains committed to extending humanitarian assistance and support during this challenging time,” he said.

The assistance comes as Afghanistan continues to grapple with the aftermath of severe flooding and recent earthquakes that have caused widespread destruction in several areas. Humanitarian needs remain high in affected regions, where many families are still seeking shelter, sanitation supplies, food and basic living materials as recovery efforts remain limited.

Afghanistan is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, drought and extreme weather, which frequently worsen the country’s already fragile humanitarian situation. Years of conflict, economic pressure and weak infrastructure have also reduced local response capacity, leaving millions of people dependent on external humanitarian support during emergencies.

India’s latest relief delivery adds to broader international efforts to assist Afghan families struggling in the aftermath of recent disasters. While the emergency supplies may help meet urgent short-term needs, the scale of destruction suggests that continued humanitarian assistance will remain critical in the coming weeks and months.
