Zhao Xing, the Chinese Ambassador in Kabul, has announced that the second shipment of aid from China, valued at 100 million yuan, will be sent to Afghanistan by the end of the current solar year.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriates of Afghanistan, the Chinese ambassador met with Khalil-ur-Rahman Haqqani, the Minister of the Ministry, on Sunday, December 1.
In the statement, Haqqani mentioned that the needs of the refugees have increased with the arrival of winter, and the aid must be delivered soon to address these growing challenges.
Previously, the Chinese ambassador in Kabul had also informed Din Mohammad Hanif, the acting head of the Ministry of Economy, about the 100 million yuan aid designated for Afghan returnees.
China has had significant political and economic engagement with Afghanistan over the past three years, investing in numerous developmental projects, including mining.
Meanwhile, the deportation of Afghan migrants from neighboring countries like Iran and Pakistan continues.
Recently, the World Food Program (WFP) issued a warning about the worsening food crisis in Afghanistan as winter approaches. The report highlighted that one-quarter of the population is unable to secure enough food to sustain their lives.
The ongoing support from China and the international community is crucial in alleviating the severe humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, especially as the winter season exacerbates the challenges faced by migrants and refugees.
However, the need for sustained efforts, not only in providing aid but also in addressing the root causes of migration, remains a significant priority. As countries continue to deport Afghan nationals, global cooperation will be essential in securing long-term stability and ensuring basic human rights for those affected.
