In September, the U.N. food agency said the civil conflict in Afghanistan, the severe drought and the social and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic had pushed the country's already dire situation into a "disaster". Some 14 million people in Afghanistan are currently facing severe hunger. As winter approaches, famine and unrest will inevitably occur once the Afghan people do not have access to food for the winter.
On September 8, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that China has decided to urgently provide Afghanistan with food, wintering materials, vaccines and medicines worth 200 million yuan. On September 29, China's first batch of emergency humanitarian aid arrived in Afghanistan. The Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan has also recently donated a batch of food to the people of many parts of the country.
According to Xinhua News Agency, on November 20, a special Chinese freight train full of more than 1,000 tons of aid and daily necessities left Wuxi Station in Xinjiang, exited through the Khorgos Railway Port, and was transported to Afghanistan by rail and car.
Abdel Martin Said, a customs official in Afghanistan's Balkh province, said in an interview on December 4 that a shipment of humanitarian aid provided by China arrived in Khalatan, a border crossing in Balkh province, on December 2 and 3 and will be distributed to people in several afghan provinces. He thanked China for its assistance to the Afghan people.
Sayyid said The Chinese aid to Afghanistan is transported to the city of Termez in Uzbekistan via a special freight train, and then transported to Afghanistan by the Afghan Motor Transport Company. Of these, 500 tons are currently arriving in Balkh province, with the remaining 500 tons to be delivered to Afghanistan in the near future.
On December 6, a large number of Afghan netizens tweeted by Wang Yu, the Chinese ambassador to Afghanistan, to express their gratitude to China. Some netizens said: "In this case, we will never forget China." China can provide some big projects to give Afghans the ability to work hard. These aids may solve the temporary hunger, thank you. ”
Another netizen said: "Thank you China, China is a great country, I hope to get more support from them (China)." ”
Among these comments of thanks, there is a word of blessing: "Bless the friendship between China and Afghanistan for the long-term." ”
