The United Nations has requested $46 billion for the prevention of the humanitarian crises in the next year. 

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that Afghanistan is one of five countries which needs humanitarian assistance. 

OCHA requested $3 billion for Afghanistan. 

“Requesting money for five major countries reflects the number of people in need and severity of their need in these countries. This request includes $4.4 billion for Syria, $3.1 billion for Ukraine, $3 billion for Afghanistan, $2.9 billion for Ethiopia and $2.8 billion for Yemen,” OCHA in the statement said. 

Following the increasing concerns of the aid organizations over increasing poverty in Afghanistan, some residents of Kabul also want the needy people to be helped during winter.

Mohammad Nadir, who leads a 7 member family, says that he can’t earn over 100 Afs per day and said that it is too hard to find food for the family. 

"I think everybody in Afghanistan is like me, they are hungry," Mohammed Nadir said

In the meantime, the Ministry of Economy said that due to the imposed financial restrictions, Afghans need assistance and the ministry continues its efforts for transparency in the distribution of the assistance. 

"The Ministry of Economy of the Islamic Emirate continues its efforts to distribute the aid to the needy people with transparency and evaluation.

We want the international community to continue its assistance to Afghanistan," said Abdul Latif Nazari, Deputy Minister of Economy.

On the other hand, some experts consider humanitarian assistance important for the solution of the economic challenges of Afghanistan and want facilities in the distribution of aid to the people. 

"As the Afghanistan people are in bad economic situation, this is the human, moral and social job of the international community to not leave Afghanistan people alone," said Abdul Zohoor Madabir, an economic expert.

This comes as OCHA in 2023, due to the lack of budget, decreased their assistance for 10 million people from May until November.
