Afghanistan: UN team in Kabul to ensure transparency with aid

KABUL, 27 February 2022, (TON): An OCHA director in the operations and advocacy division, Reena Ghelani, said “the organization has established a new system to monitor the humanitarian aid process in order to prevent corruption.”

Reena Ghelani, who is leading a nine-member delegation of the UN, which has arrived in Kabul to monitor the distribution of humanitarian aid, made the remarks in a special interview with media.

She said that they are working with 180 Afghan and international organizations to conduct a transparent aid process.

Ghelani urged the international community to support the people of Afghanistan.

She said “absolutely, the United Nations and its partners, its NGO partners, we have asked for $4.4 billion dollars, which we do not have yet, we need to raise this money because we need to urgently get assistance to people. We saw horrible nutrition, we saw children begging to go to school, both boys and girls”.

She said “a member of the delegation said that there is a need to work with the local communities and organizations to provide aid for the people. “We urge the Biden administration to work in close collaboration with (the) Afghans, especially women and local organizations.”
