33 tons of food aid packages from Turkey arrived in Afghanistan within the framework of the Turkish Red Crescent.

The aid is said to include 2,000 food parcels that will be distributed to 16,000 needy families in coordination with the Afghan Red Crescent.

Meanwhile, the Turkish ambassador in Kabul said that the country would send more aid to help needy families in Afghanistan.
