Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) said Sunday that Uzbekistan has sent in another shipment of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan in the form of food and clothing.

According to IEA spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid, 4,000 tons of goods arrived in the country.

“By the order of the President of Uzbekistan, 4,000 tons of materials such as flour, wheat, rice, oil, clothing, spices and vaccines were donated to Afghanistan,” Mujahid said, adding that the consignment was handed over to IEA officials by the Special Representative of that country.
