Afghanistan receives $40 mn cash aid

Kabul, Sep 22 Afghanistan received $40 million in cash as humanitarian aid to bolster its impoverished economy, the country's central bank announced on Thursday.

"As part of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan a batch of $40 million in cash reached Kabul on Wednesday evening and was transferred to one of the country's commercial banks," the Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) said in a statement.
