(Worthy News) – The United Nations is seeking a record $5bn (£3.7bn) in aid for Afghanistan this year to help protect the country’s future after the Taliban’s seizure of power.
The appeal includes $4.4bn (£3.3bn) in humanitarian aid alone which amounts to nearly a quarter of Afghanistan’s GDP and is triple the figure it received in 2021.
A further $623m (£458m) is being sought to support refugees. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
