Afghanistan: United Nations’ OCHA pledges to help 22 million Afghans

KABUL, 10 January 2022, (TON): Amid grave concerns over poverty and hunger in Afghanistan, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that it will help 22 million people in the country.

OCHA said “humanitarian aid is delivered based on the needs and vulnerabilities of people, with no distinctions on nationality, race, gender, religious belief, class, or political opinions.”

The head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that the goal of humanitarian actors in 2022 is to assist more than 22 million people in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, a number of poor and destitute families in the country said that the current winter has doubled their challenges while no humanitarian assistance has been provided.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the first deputy Prime Minister, on Friday called on the International Community to help Afghanistan without any political considerations.
