India delivered a 2.5-ton consignment of emergency medicines, medical disposables, kits, and equipment to Kabul.
The consignment aimed to support medical treatment and the swift recovery of those injured in the 16th March attack. This initiative underscored India’s solidarity with the Afghan people.
According to reports, at least 400 people were killed and 250 injured in an airstrike on the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital in Kabul, marking a sharp escalation in tensions in the region.
In a statement, MEA said, “India unequivocally condemns Pakistan’s barbaric airstrike on the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital in Kabul on the night of March 16. This is a cowardly and unconscionable act of violence that has claimed the lives of a large number of civilians in a facility which can by no means be justified as a military target.”
The statement added that the attack was “a blatant assault on Afghanistan’s sovereignty and a direct threat to regional peace and stability,” and accused Pakistan of attempting to portray “a massacre as a military operation.”
It further said that the timing of the strike during the holy month of Ramzan made it “all the more reprehensible,” stressing that “there is no faith, no law, and no morality that can justify the deliberate targeting of a hospital and its patients.”
