UK Dedicates 125M to Support Afghans

UK for Afghanistan said on its X social media platform that it has dedicated $125 million to supporting the people of Afghanistan.

It is stated that this aid will be focused on the education of Afghan children.

“Britain remains committed to a secure and prosperous Afghanistan. That’s why this year, we are proud to be dedicating $125m to supporting the people of Afghanistan.”

The deputy of the Ministry of Economy, Abdul Latif Nazari, welcomed the international assistance for the Afghan people but highlighted that it should not be tied to political matters.

“We ask the international community, relief organizations including the UN, to continue aid, and aid should not be linked to political issues,” Nazari said.

"The right way of using the world’s aid is not clear. If the right way to use the aid is not clear, and there is no necessary transparency and appropriate response to the aid situation, no matter how huge the aid is, sadly, it will not be effective on the economic situation of Afghanistan,” said Shaker Yaqoobi, an economist.

According to figures from international organizations, millions of people in Afghanistan are currently suffering from poverty, unemployment, a lack of access to food, and poor health conditions.

Abdul Munir, a young man who works as a vendor in Kabul and is his family's primary provider despite having a disability, said that he has only received aid twice from the relief organizations.

"I received aid from the current government once or twice,” said Abdul Munir, a resident of Kabul.

According to the World Health Organization's recent report, 28.8 million Afghans need urgent assistance, while this figure reached 18.4 million people before August 2021.

Additionally, the International Committee of the Red Cross for Afghanistan reported that currently, half of the people of Afghanistan lack access to food and medical care.
