Following the Chief Adviser’s directive, Bangladesh is dispatching emergency relief to Afghanistan after a devastating earthquake struck the country’s eastern region on September 1.

The aid package—set to be flown today (Friday) on a Bangladesh Air Force special aircraft—includes dry food, baby food, blankets, winter clothing, tents, drinking water, and essential medicines.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, more than 2,200 people have been killed, over 3,000 severely injured, and at least 8,000 homes completely destroyed in the quake. Describing the disaster as a major humanitarian crisis, officials said the relief underscores Bangladesh’s commitment to standing by Afghanistan in this critical hour.
