In a statement released by EU mission inn Kabul, quoted Raffaella Iodice, EU Chargée d’Affaires to Afghanistan as saying: “This is solidarity in action: Today, we welcomed the arrival of nearly 100 tonnes of medical items and medicines to Afghanistan. Our EU Humanitarian Air Bridge flights are a very good example of the EU’s assistance to the country: In cooperation with trusted humanitarian partners, the EU continues to deliver vital aid to Afghans in need.”
