Leading the appeal in Geneva for $606 million to support emergency aid for 11 million people across the country, Secretary-General of the UN António Guterres said that even before the uncertainty caused by the Taliban takeover last month, people were in the grip of one of the worst crises in the world.
While UN warned that the country is facing a major humantarian crisis, has made an appeal to the Taliban to give aid workers unimpeded access.
One in three Afghans do not know where their next meal is coming from, the UN chief explained, adding that “many people could run out of food by the end of this month, just as winter approaches”.
