The second phase of a food distribution initiative, organized by the King Salman Charity Foundation, commenced today in Herat province, targeting 5,000 families returning from Iran. The program is part of a larger effort that aims to assist 60,000 needy and returnee families across 34 provinces in the country.
The distribution series follows an earlier phase that began in Torkham, where 1,000 food packages were delivered to families returning from Pakistan. Each package contains essential items such as flour, rice, sugar, oil, and beans.
Abdul Rahman Al-Fazli, head of the Tawheed Foundation, emphasized that the project will expand to additional provinces as planned. He confirmed that the initiative is designed to support families displaced by recent events, particularly those returning from neighboring countries.
Adam Khan Saeed, the head of the Herat provincial department for refugees and Repatriation, expressed appreciation to the King Salman Foundation for their support. He urged both local and international organizations to focus on the needs of returnees, especially in light of the recent forced deportation of approximately one million Afghan refugees from Iran.
