A number of families of martyrs and people with disabilities in the capital have voiced concerns about their economic hardships.

They are appealing to the Islamic Emirate and humanitarian organizations for assistance and attention to their difficulties.

Hasib, one of the disabled individuals, said: "My father is also disabled, and I am disabled as well. We have no breadwinner in the family. Our household expenses, rent, and electricity bills have accumulated. Our request to the Islamic Emirate is to pay our financial entitlements."

Fereshta, the mother of a disabled child, said: "There are eight of us in the family, and we have two disabled members. Their father is also blind. My son is unemployed and stays at home. We are satisfied with the Islamic Emirate; they have transferred some payments. This year, we hope my son’s salary will be disbursed sooner. We live in a rented house."

Mehriya, a member of a martyr’s family, said: "I have six orphans and I am the head of the household. My children are young, and my eldest son is only fourteen. We are in need of support. Our house is rented."

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled has pledged that efforts are underway to assist the families of martyrs and people with disabilities across the country.

The spokesperson for the ministry said that to address the challenges faced by these families, nearly 82 agreements have been signed with charitable organizations since last year.

Faisal Khamoosh, spokesperson for the Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled, stated: "Food and non-food items, wheelchairs, employment opportunities for persons with disabilities, and other forms of assistance have been provided and are ongoing. Our effort is to increase these supports so that their economic problems can be resolved."

Previously, the ministry had announced that in the past three and a half years, it has registered more than 653,000 widows, orphans, and disabled individuals, and provided aid worth approximately 12.5 billion afghani during this period.
