ZARANJ, Afghanistan, Jan 18 (NNN-ANA) – The Afghan authorities have distributed China’s humanitarian aid to 420 needy families in Afghanistan’s western Nimroz province, provincial director for refugees and repatriation affairs, Mawlawi Sediq Nusrat, said today.
“In the provincial capital, Zaranj city, we started distribution of China’s aid to 420 destitute families yesterday, and the aid package includes one bag of 50 kg of rice to each family,” Nusrat told reporters here.
“People are suffering due to poverty and unemployment in the cold weather, and receiving China’s assistance at this stage would solve our problems to some extent,” a resident of Zaranj city said.
This was the third time in the past month that China’s aid has been distributed to residents of Nimroz province.
China’s aid was distributed to 6,000 families in Nimroz’s neighbouring Herat province, last month.– NNN-ANA
