"As you know, the developments in Afghanistan have put us at risk of a large-scale humanitarian crisis. Georgia still stands by its international partners in this process and is actively involved in managing both humanitarian and evacuation processes. According to the decision of the Prime Minister of Georgia, drinking water has been sent today to Afghanistan, in particular to the people at the Kabul airport, in the form of humanitarian aid. We would like to remind you that Georgia is actively participating in international efforts for the urgent evacuation of the partners and staff of international organizations and institutions from Afghanistan. The Georgian side agreed to appeal of several international organizations, namely the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), the International Republican Institute (IRI), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) to assist in evacuating their staff and temporarily placing them in Georgia. In addition, a regional transit hub has been established at the Tbilisi International Airport and at the Georgian Defense Forces military base near the airport, and passengers evacuated from Kabul to the Tbilisi airport are being transferred by various charter flights, ”Revaz Javelidze said.
