Storyline The first batch of emergency earthquake relief supplies provided by the Chinese government to Afghanistan arrived in Kabul on Sunday. The shipment, aboard two Y-20 aircraft of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force, included tents, blankets and other urgently needed items for quake-hit areas. A handover ceremony was attended by Bao Xuhui, charge d'affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan, Sharafuddin Muslim, deputy minister of Rural Rehabilitation and Development, as well as representatives from the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National Disaster Management Authority and Red Crescent Society. "The Chinese government immediately decided to provide emergency humanitarian supplies worth 50 million yuan (about 7 million U.S. dollars) to Afghanistan, mainly consisting of 350 tents and 3,000 blankets. It is hoped that these supplies will help the disaster-stricken people overcome their difficulties as soon as possible," said Bao. Muslim said that the first batch of emergency assistance from the Chinese government is of great support to the people in the affected areas. Noting that Afghan leaders appreciated China's sincere condolences and precious support, he said the Afghan side will always remember the friendship of the Chinese people towards the Afghan people. More batches of relief supplies from China will be sent to Afghanistan in the coming days. A devastating 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan last Sunday, causing severe damage. The death toll from the powerful earthquake had climbed to 2,205, with 3,640 others injured, the Afghan Red Crescent Society reported Thursday. Shotlist: Kabul, Afghanistan - Sept 7, 2025: 1.
