India has dispatched a 2.5-tonne shipment of emergency medicines, medical supplies, kits, and equipment to Afghanistan following Pakistan’s recent assault on a hospital in Kabul. The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, affirmed India’s commitment to offering humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan during this challenging period. The aid was sent in response to the attack on the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital in Kabul, which resulted in the deaths of over 400 individuals and left more than 250 others wounded.
India strongly denounced Pakistan’s airstrikes on the hospital and rehab center in Kabul, labeling the incident as a cowardly and unjustifiable act of violence. The Ministry of External Affairs criticized Pakistan for attempting to portray the massacre as a military operation, emphasizing that the attack not only violated Afghanistan’s sovereignty but also posed a direct threat to regional peace and stability. India urged the international community to hold the perpetrators accountable and put an end to Pakistan’s indiscriminate targeting of Afghan civilians.
Expressing solidarity with the Afghan people, India extended its deepest condolences to the affected families and wished a speedy recovery to the injured. The Ministry reiterated its unwavering support for Afghanistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, condemning the attack as a reprehensible act that defies all principles of faith, law, and morality. India called for justice for the victims and emphasized the need to halt Pakistan’s aggressive actions against Afghan civilians promptly.
