A team from the UAE has departed for Afghanistan to provide logistical and relief support to the quake-hit northern region.
The mission is carried out under the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Teams from the Joint Operations Command, the UAE Aid Agency, and the Emirates Red Crescent, will coordinate with the local authorities in Afghanistan to conduct field assessments to carry out the proper response needed.
The UAE has also launched an air bridge to northern Afghanistan, sending essential relief supplies, medical materials and shelter tents. It will also include supplies from Afghanistan's local markets to ensure rapid support to those affected, wounded and injured, and mitigate the impact of the disaster on the affected families.
Dozens were killed and hundreds injured after a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck near the northern Afghan city of Mazar-e Sharif on November 3, with authorities warning that the death toll is likely to rise.
