Afghanistan: Geneva call International aid alone will not stop Afghan crisis

KABUL, 21 February 2022, (TON): Geneva Call says that the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is dire and warned that if cash does not reach Afghanistan soon, poverty and misery will increase in this country.

In an exclusive interview, head of the organization, General Alain Délétroz, said that humanitarian aid alone will not prevent the crisis in Afghanistan and that the country’s economy needed to become healthier as more money was provided.

Mr. Délétroz said “as a humanitarian organization we avoid commenting on political issues, but what we keep saying and telling our donors, if there is no money coming to Afghanistan at all, the humanitarian situation will be increasing.”

Concerns over the deterioration of the economic situation in Afghanistan have been heightened by the recent decision of Biden about the Afghanistan assets which are in US banks.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal said in a report that Biden’s executive order to distribute $7 billion of Afghan assets to the families of 9/11 victims is another blow to the country’s declining economy.
