India is also planning to send food grains to Afghanistan very soon.

The fourth batch of medical assistance consisting of three tons of essential life-saving medicines was sent to Afghanistan last month. It was handed over to the Indira Gandhi Hospital, Kabul on January 28.

India had earlier supplied 500,000 doses of COVID vaccine and 1.6 tons of medical assistance to Afghanistan through World Health Organization (WHO).
