A convoy of 15 cargo trucks and one SUV from the Kyrgyz Ministry of Emergency Situations crossed the Kazakh border two days ago carrying 300 tons of Kyrgyz goods, including food, tents, heaters, beds, light bulbs, mattresses, and clothing. Smadiyarov expressed gratitude to their partners who have been sending telegrams of support in these challenging times.
Additionally, the official representative revealed that several phone calls have been made expressing words of support and offering assistance to Kazakhstan. Despite the complex situation, the government has set up an operational headquarters, and all deputy prime ministers have been dispatched to the affected regions. The situation is under control, with the full utilization of material reserves and voluntary assistance from the public. The Ministry of Emergency Situations is actively collaborating with local authorities.
On April 6, 2024, 15 trucks carrying humanitarian aid from Kyrgyzstan arrived in the Zhambyl region of Kazakhstan, showcasing the solidarity between the two neighboring countries during times of crisis.
