China, UNHCR provide humanitarian supplies to Afghanistan
On Monday, China’s South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund, in cooperation with the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), handed over a batch of humanitarian supplies to Afghanistan.
Speaking at a handover ceremony in Kabul, the Chinese ambassador to Afghanistan, Wang Yu, said the Chinese government was concerned about Afghans who suffer from the COVID-19 pandemic, unrest and drought.
It also approved offering fund support, the Chinese ambassador said.
“With the efforts from the UNHCR, all the supplies have been purchased and now are distributed in Kabul, Kandahar, Baghlan and Nangarhar provinces, among others,” Mr Wang said in a statement.
He added that the needy Afghans would get relief with the supplies.
The UNHCR’s acting representative in Afghanistan, Yumiko Takashima, appreciated the South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund for providing the fund support.
He said the timely assistance would benefit more than 90,000 displaced Afghans and schoolchildren.
In 2021, the South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund approved a request from the UNHCR on providing the vulnerable groups in Afghanistan with emergency shelter
