The first shipment of Iran’s humanitarian aid for the flood victims in Afghanistan arrived on Thursday in Balkh province. The aid packages, which include food, medicine, carpets, blankets, and tents, were sent within the framework of humanitarian cooperation between the two countries.

The aid comes in response to the devastating floods that have hit several provinces of Afghanistan, including Baghlan, Ghor, and Faryab, during the last two weeks. These floods have resulted in huge financial losses and have claimed hundreds of lives, with many more injured.
