MAZAR-I SHARIF, Afghanistan
Turkey's main aid agency has provided food and tents to 31 flood-affected families in northeastern Afghanistan’s Takhar province.
The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) delivered the materials to the victims at a ceremony Wednesday.
Kemal Kadir Karadogan, TIKA coordinator of Mazar-i Sharif, told Anadolu Agency that Turkey would continue to provide help to Afghanistan.
Karadogan added that the aid package consisted of flour, rice, oil, sugar, salt, macaroni and other basic food items.
At least eight people were killed when heavy floods hit the province about two weeks back.
Established in 1992, Turkey's government-run TIKA agency is responsible for implementing Turkey's developmental cooperation policies overseas.
The agency offers aid to more than 40 countries around the world, including Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Myanmar and Yemen.
