A shipment of humanitarian food aid from India has been allowed to cross the land border into Pakistan on its way to Afghanistan, a rare gesture between the two countries that suspended transit trade three years ago over heightened tensions.
India’s Foreign Secretary Harsh Shringla and Farid Mamundzay, Afghanistan’s ambassador to India, saw off the first 50 trucks of a 50,000 metric tonnes shipment of wheat from the Indian border post of Attari, about 420km (260 miles) east of the Indian capital New Delhi, on the country’s western border with Pakistan on Tuesday.
Al Jazeera’s Elizabeth Puranam reports the Atari-Wagah border crossing in Punjab.

#Afghanistan #AfghanistanHumanitarianCrisis #India
Allowed?….they are forced to do so …it is win for Indian diplomacy…Pak authorities stoping this humanitarian support since 3 months…. because of their concern that India may gain popularity among Afghans..sincere violation of human rights assistance.
Anyhow thanks to Pak govt and people.. I personally believe that by opening trade routes Sub continent can preserve peace. 🙏
Afgan always our brothers we love afgan at what extent we will help them🇮🇳🇦🇫
Appreciate Pakistan for allowing such humanitarian aid. Bahot bahot shukriya. Whats next? I would love to have great sporty match between India & PK in india and in Pakistan. Love from India
Al Jazeera news channel takes great pains to glorify India
India 🙏
When two rivals work together, great things happens. I remember way back when Russia, US and other countries work together for an International Space Station, that was amazing. Allowing Indian wheat to pass through Pakistani soil for the Afghan people is like a small light in these dark times of our world. Imagine there’s no countries nothing to kill or die for… imagine all the people living in peace- lyrics from the song Imagine by John Lennon. Peace be to us all my brothers and sisters. From the Pearl of the Orient Seas.
Pakistani’s have no problem taking Indian medicines, but they could not bring themselves to let Indian trucks pass with food for starving Afghan children.
This is the humanity and power of INDIA we help everyone everywhere always proud to be an INDIAN 🇮🇳
Cow 🐄🐮 Power 💪 and Generosity.
First shipment for namak haram nation
Jai jawan jai kisan ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Where is oil the Muslim Ummah afagani people died because of Pakistan terrorist activities in Afghanistan but OIC not react
Al Jazeera= Qatar 🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐕🐕🐕🐕
US ate 3.5 Billion dollar of Afghanistan, and left them abundant, while India is sending wheat, Medicines and the US says that there is Human rights issue in India
Worlds largest and Greatest hypocrite is US.
It is Not For Selling …. it’s an Aid , …. It’s Totally Free … & it is given to Afghani People from Their Indian Brothers …& Pakistan was Blocking that Aid … Give Full Information to People
Great humanitarian efforts….. good news
Kahi pakistan aate ki boriya chori na kar le 🙂🙂🙂
I am Kashmiri and I love my India😘🇮🇳

It’s karma
When you helping others
Others definitely help you in your difficult time
So do good deeds
🇮🇳❤️🇦🇫
These trucks came directly from Afghanistan to india
I can’t believe aljajeera show this news , iam just surprised 😯
India fears of talibans .don’t need to send anything because they named their commando unit as panipat and coming to India
It’s not humanity it’s fear of govt from talibans. In india many minorities are being killed and tortured
I m a Kashmiri nd I m proud to be an Indian🇮🇳My country is a multireligious country with huge diversity.Political problems r there which r everywhere but I respect my India🇮🇳
Democracy me poltician ek dusre ko attack karte hain.. real me yehi democracy hota. Agar opposition party target ni karega. Good poltics ni hoga.👍 Freedom choice freedom speech
Send more wheat…..India has capacity to feed millions of people who are in food need….
Propergandu jal jazeera 😭😭😂😂😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫
THANK YOU INDIA
This is an gift from people of India to the lovely people of Afgan, we Indian pray that ur country stabilise asap n we walk together. Long live india and Afgan.
Not Pakistan but India has been suspended trade n transportation with Pakistan after Pro-Pakistan militants launched a cowardly attack on an Indian Army convoy. In which more than 50 Indian soldiers were martyred.
So, Arjazira News Agency should take information and broadcast real and demonstrative news
See how funny it is. Even though the whole of Jammu and Kashmir belongs to India, Pakistan is constantly talking about India’s internal issues in international forums. But when India demands the use of Pakistani roads to send 50,000 tons of free wheat to the hungry people of neighboring Afghanistan, the Pakistani government says it will load the truck with wheat and distribute the aid to Afghanistan with Pakistani flags. Look at what an cheap mentality country Pakistan is
Pakistan delayed for four months and after immense international pressure they allowed else they were in no mood to allow wheat to reach Afghanistan.
It shows that it is for people in Afghanistan but in real it is for also raw agents in between them to spurge terrorism activities and divide the ethnic groups of them
After 2 months of delay
well look at that, atleast something good happend this week. the news has been full of russia, ukraine, usa, uk. full of negativity
Indian media didn’t report this speecifically
As I’m watching from some months India gave free vaccines free wheat free medicines of tonnes to the people of Afghanistan Why other islamic countries not helping the people of Afghanistan in this type of worse situation and looking like a Audience as Al-Jazeera is doing right now & at last it will always ultimately criticize india for the happening in Kashmir which is not true.This shows hypocrisy of this biased news channel. You should Show more about the nicest form of India instead of criticizing the Government for which they are not responsible.This shows the greatness of India as a non islamic country but always takes care of the people who are in need inspite of looking on their Religion.
Indian should love Abdali, Ghaznavi, Ghouri etc as well
A neighbour is your natural enemy.
A neighbour’s neighbour is a natural freind
Conveniently, not mentioned how Pakistan denied indian aid Afghanistan all this while. Kudos to Al Jazeera unbiased approach
50,000 Ton such a large
Thank you India really appreciate it 🇦🇫🙏🇮🇳💜💚
India itself is a starving poor nation. They receive more aids from rich countries than anyone in this world
lol
*Long Live Pak-Afghan Brotherhood.*
Two countries, One nation. 💞
One Ummah. ☪
This is just to make positive image otherwise india has 1 of the worst poverty and hunger figures in the world. Why dont they feed their own at home dying from hunger
India is always there for our Afgan brothers. 🇮🇳 Hamara Pyara Bharat
Salute to Indian Pakistan friendship
Why Pakistan allow this😡😡😡😡😡😡No trade with India. India will supply arms to anti Pakistan groups through these trucks. No trade with India and no transit trade between India and Afghanistan via Pakistan.
its for Afghanistan…nothing to do with Pakistan as Afghanistan is land locked country according international trade rure they get access cant be closed for them sea , land route
@rajesh rai why Pakistan allow to cross these trucks from its territory ?????Even Pakistan must close its airspace and land routes for India.
@John Wick yaa oak can close trade with india but its cant close more time to with afganistan and india for trade yaa pak can put more toll money for trade which pass but not closed
will Biden use the alfgan money to buy food and send to Alfganistan instead diverting it to others? Children may die of starvation.
Hope you can sleep in peace if they die of starvation
Jai Hind and Pakistan Zindabad!
If Pakistan wasn’t allowing the route to Afghanistan by land India should have sent aid via air. Now you’ll say space was blocked as well. Yes it was blocked but there are other alternative routes you can use. It’s alright. Better late than never. Appreciate India for doing that for our lovely afghan brothers. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰. Pakistan zindagabad 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
@Geopolitics then how India we’re sending there agents in Afghanistan to create terrorism in Pakistan? Alternate air space routes right? Then why cant use the same air space routes to send aid in Afghanistan?
@Mirza Ali chutiye , Dubai naam ki jagah hai duniya me … Aur koi send nhi karta … agar hum kr rhe hote na to chomu aaj Pakistan pe humle nhi hote kyonki hum to nhi hai na waha pe … to phir ? Aur bhul mt Osama ko , Pakistan me mila tha …
@Geopolitics hahahhahaha lag gayi aag neeche sach sun ker 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😅😅😅😅😅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😅😅😅😅😅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😅😅😅😅😅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😅😅😅😅😅
@Mirza Ali Such ko ignore karne ka tera tarika achha hai galib
@Geopolitics hahahahahha Tea was fantastic ☕️ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
India give food ..but paxtan give Terroisst and islamist …india hindu loveing people
Tied truks tripal tightly….Bcz pakistani administration is thief ..They will cut begs on the name of checking
Afghan tricolor will raise again….👍👍 We know Afghan people have nothing to do with…Taliban
Take care Afghans
Thanks pakistan for allowing
Happy to see that it’s not aid Or help written on consignment…
Gift from people of India to people of Afghanistan… That’s how u support other people in time of need… I as a Indian appreciate this effort but I am 100% sure once they will find themselves in comfortable position, they will breed n train terrorist on there land against India
Very good moves by india 🇮🇳
As an Afghani I hate India because They left us in the war alone
Don’t hate us your main culprit are Russia and America everything started with cold War. Secondly india till this date doesn’t accept taliban but Pakistan on 16 august 2020 accepted taliban just one day after taliban take over.
This is India, Salute.
Terrorist Nations should cover Their face with veil
Pakistan have removed the banners where it is written goodwill from indian citizens
Pakistan is a country which didn’t let Indian wheat to reach Afghanistan. They had to be forced by India in order to let India send wheat to Afghanistan as people were dying there. Al jazeera shows as it is a very big thing what Pakistan did when Pakistan itself was a nation which didn’t let trucks pass through. Worst news channel indeed.
ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಜನಗಳಿಗೆ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆಗೆ ಹಿಟ್ಟಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂತ ದರಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಪೂಡಿಂಗ್ ನನ್ ಮಗ ಮೋದಿ ಬೇರೆ ದೇಶಕ್ಕೆ ಕೊಡ್ತಾನೆ ಬೋಸುಡಿ ನನ್ನ ಮಕ್ಳು
we need to ensure that our wheat does not end up in paxstan black markets
Appreciate Pakistan govt for forgetting rivalary over humanitarian basis.
Feeding a hungry is biggest thing
Its not about prestige but humanity.
What is west is doing?
America 🤡🤡 destroyed Nation and run away .
Bro India borders Afghanistan why does he need Pakistan land to send food for Afghanistan
Go to geography class
@TRIGGER GAMING Kashmir is India what u mean dum as
India will deliver wheat to Afghanistan but pakistan blocked it, pakistan is 100% not a muslim country and have sins allow with the USA
And as expected Al Jazeera tried downplaying India’s humanitarian gesture.
The title could’ve easily been ‘India sends humanitarian aid to Afghanistan’ and Pakistan’s allowing the wheat to pass through could’ve been explained in the video. But no, ‘Pakistan allowed the wheat to pass through’ as if allowing the wheat to pass through is a lot more important than actually building up the consignment with a thought of helping someone in need.
Only propoganda
Hope India send only wheat not weapons
I think it’s a good thing that India decided to offer a “helping hand” rather than sit back and watch expecting the West to provide all of the aid.
Indians love afghans
Thank you Pakistan ❤️❤️❤️🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Indian bots are commenting as India did very big thing after fighting against Afghanistan for 20 years with its western masters and destroying it.
💩💩💩💩🇮🇳🤮🤮🤮
Who provided logistics support to americans. Whos air space and shipyards used for transport
Love ❤ you Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Afgani Brother india 🇮🇳 hmesa aapke sath rhega aap humhare bhai ho
Love ❤ form Bharat 🇮🇳 Hindustan
Bhagwaan kabhi kisi bhi desh ko Pakistan jesa padosi na de joo manavta ka dusman h aatank ka adda h abb bikharo katora khan h zahi gawar convart madrsachap
Shame on aljazera for twisting the title…
I am sure some parts of the consignment will not reach Afganistan as it is passing through a cheep country…
India is always stand with Afghanistan people’s . Will help
Make sure imran Khan doesn’t hold some packets for him😹😹 Tattoo ka saudagar
Afghanistan or India dono ka Pakistan k baghair roti Hazam nahi hoti. Kabhi kia mangte he kabhi kiya mangte he
Why western country(Germany,France, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Italy),China, America, Japan not send any humatarian aid to Afganistan,
Tell me Aljazira..
Pakistan is terrorist country
Pakistani aid has been there years before ,india is very late lolz
What aid ur making them to die with hunger.Pakistan never helped any one including their own
@sam kada
Your nation literally begs from other countries and China, what aid do you send bruh?
Hope someday in my lifetime, India and Pakistan will resolve their differences peacefully through dialogue and work together. Let religious tolerance and harmony prevail in this subcontinent. Love for India and Pakistan from Bangladesh. ❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩❤️🇮🇳❤️🇵🇰❤️
India is father of pakistan
Pak* never helped anyone. They are waiting for afghans to become weaker thru hunger
But what they did religious ideology people’s killed All the minority ethnic cleansing and Al Jazeera was praised them 💩
Thank you Pakistan dan India we love you.
😁😁😁Indian adminstration kashmir on Indian soverign soil👍
It 50000 metric tonn as usual aljazeee report only report half news.
Jai Ho
*Was that “Pakistan allows” really needed* ? It could just have been India provides aid to Afghanistan or something similar to that. Al Jazeera 🤦
The afghans need to check how much wheat did pakistan steal from those trucks
India is incredible…… Love from UAE. And one more thing… Pakistan should free the illegal occupation of Indian Jammu and Kashmir
