But in the corner of Kabul city, Shir Zaman, 62, said he has received 3,000 afs in aid once in the past two years and complains about what he sees as a reduction in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan.
"I have not received help so far. I go daily from morning to night and buy bread whatever I get, the rest of the money is spent on rent until I get home," Shir Zaman told TOLOnews.
The Ministry of Economy asked institutions and other countries to continue supporting the Afghan people and to invest in the development sector of the country.
"With the coming of winter, the people of Afghanistan need help and the international community has to pay attention to this issue and our demand is that the aid should not be only humanitarian, development programs should also be in hand,” said Abdul Latif Nazari, Deputy Minister of Economy.
"If this aid is distributed fairly and honestly, it will solve the problems of the people for a while,” said Qutbuddin, an economic analyst.
