ABU DHABI // The Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation has distributed aid to 2,000 underprivileged families in the drought-ridden Nimruz province in the south-west of Afghanistan.
Residents in the area are known to have difficulty obtaining drinking water and most live under the poverty line, state news agency Wam said.
The aid campaign was implemented in coordination with the Humanitarian and Development Assistance Attache linked with the UAE Embassy in Kabul.
Over three days, aid items including food, blankets and household supplies were distributed to families in various areas.
Beneficiary families, local officials and senior tribal leaders praised the organisation’s efforts in helping the disadvantaged in Kabul.
