Kabul: The U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR has started airlifting aid into Kabul for the first time since the Taliban overran the country. The Agency's spokesperson Shabia Mantoo said the agency is using land, sea and air routes to bring humanitarian relief into Afghanistan. She said, a plane carrying 33 tons of supplies for displaced Afghans reached Kabul and two additional flights are



scheduled for this month. 

Further relief supplies have also been prepositioned in Uzbekistan, ready to be trucked into Afghanistan, she added. The spokesperson said, much more is needed, to prevent Afghanistan from plunging deeper into a humanitarian crisis that many fear will exceed the misery of war-torn Syria or Yemen.
