The humanitarian aid efforts of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to support people in Afghanistan. The UAE has launched an air bridge operation called "Birds of Goodness" to deliver urgent food and medical supplies across Afghanistan. Since beginning last month, the operation has completed 32 airdrops to distribute assistance. 

Over 2,000 tonnes of relief supplies have been delivered to more than 50 locations across 15 Afghan provinces through these airdrops. Each mission provides essential food items such as rice, flour, sugar, tea and dates. Medical provisions are also included to help address healthcare needs. The goal is to supply life-saving food and medical resources to Afghan civilians suffering from conflict and economic problems.

The "Birds of Goodness" operation is organized by the UAE Ministry of Defence and carried out by the UAE Air Force. It works with international humanitarian partners and local personnel on the ground. The wide-scale aid effort demonstrates the UAE's commitment to fulfilling its humanitarian responsibilities by assisting vulnerable communities during times of crisis and need. More missions are likely to continue in order to address critical shortages facing much of the Afghan population.
