India dispatches tonnes of wheat to Taliban-led Afghanistan after a deal with Pakistan to allow humanitarian aid through the country
Pakistan has allowed nuclear rival India to deliver tons of wheat to Afghans struggling through intensifying food shortage.
The consignment was picked up by Afghan trucks at Attari which will take it to Afghanistan, said India's Ministry of External Affairs. "I thank the Indian government for the generosity displayed at a time when more than 20 million Afghans are facing crisis or the worse levels of food insecurity in more than 3 decades," he added.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs , half the population now faces acute hunger, over 9 million people have been displaced and millions of children are out of school.
