The United Arab Emirates (UAE) relief team has successfully concluded its humanitarian mission in Afghanistan, providing critical aid to communities devastated by a severe earthquake in the country’s northern regions in September 2025. The mission underscored the UAE’s commitment to global humanitarian efforts and its leadership in supporting crisis-stricken populations. Families in the affected areas expressed profound gratitude for the UAE’s timely assistance, which included essential supplies such as food parcels, tents, and blankets. These efforts significantly alleviated the suffering of thousands of families grappling with the aftermath of the disaster. The UAE’s air bridge played a pivotal role in the mission, delivering over 394 tonnes of humanitarian aid through eight aircraft to the hardest-hit regions. The initiative not only achieved its immediate objectives of providing rapid and effective relief but also reinforced the UAE’s readiness to continue supporting vulnerable communities worldwide. This mission reflects the enduring humanitarian principles established by the UAE’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, which continue to guide the nation’s relief operations during global crises.
