Afghanistan has delivered 530 tonnes of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, officials said, as the territory continues to face severe shortages of food, medicine, and basic supplies.
The shipment, sent by Afghanistan’s Taliban-led government, includes essential goods such as food and relief materials aimed at supporting Palestinians amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The aid was transported through regional coordination efforts, though details on delivery routes were not fully disclosed.
Afghan authorities said the assistance reflects solidarity with Palestinians, as humanitarian conditions in Gaza remain dire following months of conflict and restricted aid access. International organizations have repeatedly warned that the amount of aid reaching Gaza falls far short of what is needed for its population of more than two million people.
Despite Afghanistan itself facing one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises—with millions in need of assistance—the country has continued to provide support to Gaza in recent months. The delivery highlights growing efforts by countries across the region to send aid to Gaza, where shortages of food, fuel, and medical supplies persist.
