In a swift response to Afghanistan's humanitarian crisis, two Y-20 transport aircraft from the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force touched down at Kabul International Airport on September 7, delivering critical relief supplies. This comes just one week after a magnitude-6.0 earthquake rocked eastern Afghanistan, leaving communities in urgent need of support.
Race Against Time 🕒
The August 31 quake—one of the deadliest in the region this decade—destroyed homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods. China's aid package includes tents, medical kits, and emergency food supplies, aiming to help thousands of displaced residents brace for the approaching winter.

Chinese officials emphasized the delivery as part of their commitment to "international cooperation during crises." The Y-20 planes, nicknamed "Chubby Girls" for their distinctive size, have become symbols of China's growing role in global disaster response—think of them as the Avengers of humanitarian logistics! 💪✈️
Local Afghan authorities praised the timely assistance, calling it a "lifeline" for affected families. Meanwhile, social media users worldwide are rallying under hashtags like #GlobalSolidarity to amplify relief efforts.
