The UAE has sent 37 metric tonnes of food supplies to Afghanistan, as part of its initiatives to help disadvantaged communities during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
Eisa Salem Aldhaheri, UAE Ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, said the move reflects the government's efforts to support those in need.
