A special flight
carrying humanitarian aid from Kazakhstan has arrived in Afghanistan. Food
products, tents, medicines, and clothing to assist those affected by the
earthquake in the Herat province were delivered by the National Guard aircraft.
In total, Kazakhstan is dispatching around 1,700 tonnes of aid. Meanwhile, the
Kazakh rescue team has already started searching for the missing people and
clearing the rubble. According to the Kazakh Emergency Situations Ministry, the
group will work in the Naibrofi district, located 25-30 kilometers away from
Herat. This area is considered the most challenging, with the highest number of
missing people. The authorities of the Afghan city have expressed gratitude to
Kazakh rescuers who intend to assist in earthquake relief operations around the
clock. It is noteworthy that the 45-member team, all with prior experience in
such operations, is equipped with necessary gear for search efforts. The team
includes canine handlers, medical workers and paramedics from the Disaster
Medicine Center.
