The UN’s Humanitarian Chief urged donors to immediately provide $770 million for Afghanistan as people battle hunger, climate change and conflict.
Martin Griffiths told the United Nations Security Council that Afghanistan faces multiple crises; humanitarian, economic, climate, hunger and financial – and that donors should immediately provide $770m to help Afghans survive the coming colder months.
Conflict, poverty, climate shocks and food insecurity “have long been a sad reality” in Afghanistan, but he said what makes the current situation “so critical” is the halt to large-scale development aid.
“Poverty is deepening, the population is still growing, and the de facto authorities have no budget to invest in their own future. It’s clear to us that some development support needs to be restarted,” Griffiths said.
