The Qatari Foreign Minister in Afghanistan and four UN planes arrive at Kabul Airport for the first time after operating

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, arrived in the Afghan capital, Kabul, to discuss the development of the situation in Afghanistan, after a tour that led him to several countries focused on the Afghan file.

Sources told Al Jazeera that the Qatari foreign minister met in Kabul with Afghan Prime Minister Mullah Muhammad Hassan Akhund.

Four WFP planes carrying WFP teams have arrived at Kabul airport, returning to Afghanistan.

Sources in the United Nations told Al Jazeera that the World Food Program will resume work in distributing humanitarian aid in several cities in Afghanistan.

Correspondent Hamdi al-Bakari at the airport stated that the planes belonging to the United Nations World Food Program came from Islamabad, and one headed to Kandahar and the other to Mazar-i-Sharif.

These flights are the first of their kind to carry United Nations teams, after the airport was restarted by the Qatari technical support teams, and the gradual resumption of work in it.

The reporter quoted an official in the World Food Program as saying that about 15 million Afghans are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance.

Twelve Afghan female employees, out of 80, returned to work at Kabul International Airport, less than a month after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan.

Yesterday, Saturday, the airport witnessed a number of domestic flights between Kabul and a number of Afghan cities.

Pakistan Airlines announced yesterday that it will launch commercial flights to the Afghan capital from Monday.

In the State of Qatar, Hamad International Airport received last night a Qatar Airways plane, on the second commercial flight to arrive from Kabul within 24 hours.
