The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), has that approximately 23.7 million people, including 12.3 million children, in Afghanistan will require humanitarian assistance in the year 2024.
UNOCHA stated on Saturday night, April 27, with the publication of a report assessing the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan under Taliban rule in March, that it requires 1.7 billion dollars to address the humanitarian crisis in the country.
The report describes the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan as severe and indicates that during March, at least 948,975 tons of essential health services were provided, including 39,246 children in the country.
However, many of those in need of humanitarian aid in Afghanistan are suffering in dire economic conditions and are facing numerous challenges in obtaining their daily bread.
Sanam, one of the recipients of aid, stated that they have not received any assistance in recent months and expressed their dismay at the lack of support for those in need.
“In the past, we would receive help at least once or twice, but now no one is thinking of us. The aid does not reach those who deserve it, and we are bewildered about how to carry on with our lives amidst the economic difficulties we are facing,” Sanam said.
A few weeks ago, following the imposition of restrictions and the prohibition of women working at the United Nations, the distribution of humanitarian aid in Afghanistan was halted, leaving millions of families deprived of receiving humanitarian assistance.
Furthermore, UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, has provided primary health and nutrition services to 5,432,789 individuals in Afghanistan, approximately half of whom are children, during this period.
