Event Summary

India has delivered 20 tonnes of critical dry materials for BCG and Tetanus & Diphtheria (Td) vaccines to Kabul, Afghanistan, to bolster the country's child immunization program. This latest consignment, announced by the India — Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, is part of India's continuous humanitarian support to Afghanistan. Previous aid includes 13 tonnes of BCG vaccines in April, Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) materials following floods and earthquakes on April 5, and a 2.5-tonne consignment of emergency medicines in March after a Pakistan attack on a Kabul hospital. India reaffirms its commitment to supporting the people of Afghanistan in the health sector, especially as the United Nations estimates millions remain dependent on external assistance.
