KABUL, Afghanistan

Turkey’s state-run aid agency on Sunday hosted an iftar (fast-breaking) dinner in war-ravaged Afghanistan.

The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) served iftar to 1,000 female students who are staying at the dormitory of Balkh University in northern Balkh province, according to a statement issued by the agency’s local office.

TIKA will continue to host iftar dinners all around the world during the holy month of Ramadan, the statement added.
