KABUL, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said on Sunday that it will distribute China-donated relief items to over 175,000 conflict-affected Afghans across the country in the coming weeks.
According to UNHCR, the relief items, including kitchen sets, blankets, jerry cans and plastic tarpaulins, will be distributed to more than 27,500 households or over 175,000 Afghans across the war-ridden country.
Welcoming China's humanitarian aid, Arafat Jamal, UNHCR's representative in Afghanistan, says, "We are immensely grateful for this important support from Chinese aid. It enables UNHCR to support displaced families who are struggling at difficult times so that they can meet their basic needs."
China has supported Afghanistan over the past years with essential relief items, which have been distributed among poor and natural disaster-affected families in the country. ■
