Dhaka, September 5, 2025: The Government of Bangladesh is dispatching urgent humanitarian aid to Afghanistan following a devastating earthquake that struck the eastern region on September 1, claiming over 1,400 lives and injuring more than 3,000 people. The disaster has destroyed over 8,000 homes, triggering a severe humanitarian crisis.
Under the special directive of the Chief Adviser, Bangladesh will send relief materials to Afghanistan on September 5 via a special Bangladesh Air Force flight, according to a Ministry of Foreign Affairs press release issued Thursday night. The aid package includes dry food, baby food, blankets, winter clothes, tents, drinking water, and essential medicines.
This marks Bangladesh’s continued commitment to regional solidarity, having previously provided humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan following a similar earthquake in 2022.
