India on Saturday donated 500,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines to the Indira Gandhi children’s hospital in Kabul and pledged to send another 500,000 jabs in the coming weeks as part of humanitarian aid for the people of Afghanistan. On December 11, the Indian government sent 1.6 tonnes of medicines to the Indira Gandhi Institute of Child Health in Kabul on a special charter flight that also ferried 85 Afghan nationals who were stuck in India after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. The medicines, like the vaccines delivered on Saturday, were routed through the World Health Organization (WHO). Watch this video for more.
