India on Friday delivered a 2.5-ton shipment of medicines and medical supplies to Kabul to support those injured in Pakistan’s strike in Afghanistan’s capital on March 16.
According to Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for India’s Ministry of External Affairs, the consignment, which includes emergency medicines, medical equipment and disposable supplies, arrived in the Kabul on Friday.
He said the aid was intended to support the treatment and recovery of the wounded.
“To support the medical treatment and swift recovery of those injured in the heinous attack on 16 March, India delivers a 2.5-ton consignment of emergency medicines, medical disposables, kits and equipment to Kabul,” he said in a statement posted on X.
He added that India “stands in solidarity with the Afghan people” and will continue to provide humanitarian assistance.
The strike hit the Omid rehabilitation center in Kabul and has resulted in conflicting casualty figures.
Taliban say at least 400 people were killed and about 250 others wounded. An investigation by Amu TV has found that around 200 people were killed and hundreds more injured, while United Nations figures remain lower and under verification.
Pakistan has denied targeting a civilian facility, saying it struck militant infrastructure.
The attack has drawn strong reactions from countries in the region and international organizations, with growing concern over civilian casualties.
