Afghanistan has received the fourth consignment of humanitarian aid from the Islamic Republic of Iran.

According to Afghanistan's AVA news agency, the fourth batch includes medicines, food, clothing, tents, and other basic supplies needed by the victims of the earthquake.

Iran has previously sent three humanitarian aids to the people in quake-hit areas following the earthquake which hit Afghanistan's Paktika and Khost province on Wednesday.
