Avert The Worst”: UN Urges World To Halt Worsening Afghanistan Crisis
KABUL: The United Nations urged the world to stand in Afghanistan at a promise conference on Thursday where he was looking for a record $ 4.4 billion in humanitarian assistance to the damaged country.
The Taliban seized power in Afghanistan on August 15 amid a withdrawal of foreign troops led by us, and the country’s humanitarian crisis had quickly deteriorated since then.
The donor conference comes a week after the hardline Islamists close the school girls, to expand international disappoints, even though they promise a softer version of their previous hard regime, from 1996 to 2001.
While condemning closure, UN, Britain, Germany, and Qatar, the co-hosting virtual pledging shows, insisting on the international community should not leave Afghans, with 60 percent of the population that requires assistance to remain.
And they also urged donors not to fall into the trap to ignore the crisis in Afghanistan while confiscated by Russian war in Ukraine.
Ukraine is very important but Afghanistan calls our souls for commitment and loyalty,” said United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator Martin Griffiths told reporters, talking from Kabul
The United Nations is looking for three times the amount requested in 2021, but the biggest single attraction for funds so far is only guaranteed 13 percent of the money needed.
Afghanistan said was on the verge of economic collapse, with more than 24 million people in need of humanitarian assistance to survive.
we need to prevent the worst in Afghanistan and that is why we call for donors to step and become generous,” Griffiths said.
British diplomats say basic services such as health and education are now “kneeling”, while millions do not have access to work and people take loans to survive, with 80 percent of household expenditure occurs in food.
Furthermore, “as if things couldn’t worsen”, this country suffers from worst droughts in decades, he said.
Taliban triggered anger after ordering middle school women to close only a few hours after allowing them to reopen for the first time since seizing power.
