Afghanistan Peace CampaignAbdul Latif Nazari, deputy minister of the economy, said that the Islamic Emirate is trying to reduce poverty and hunger in the country.
Nancy Dent, the vice president of Asia at the International Rescue Committee, said that Afghanistan is still facing an economic crisis and is unable to absorb thousands of returned refugee families.
In an interview with the Reuters news agency, the vice-president of the Asia department of IRC added that this situation is likely to worsen for the whole of Afghanistan.
“The country cannot afford to absorb thousands of families arriving and it is likely that this is going to stretch the economy even further. So, the situation for Afghanistan … is likely to deteriorate,” said Nancy Dent, the vice president of Asia at the IRC.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Economy said the imposition of sanctions and restrictions on the country are the root cause of Afghanistan’s economic crisis.
Abdul Latif Nazari, deputy minister of the economy, said that the Islamic Emirate is trying to reduce poverty and hunger in the country.
“The reason for economic problems in the country is the imposition of unfair sanctions by the world, but the Islamic Emirate is trying to reduce poverty and hunger so that the country becomes self-sufficient,” Nazari said.
On the other hand, a number of poor people say that their daily income is less than 100 afghanis and therefore they need more humanitarian aid.
“I leave home in the morning and work until dinner, but I earn from fifty to a hundred afghanis, which does not cover the household expenses,” said Samad Khan, a Kabul resident.
“There are seven people in my family and I am the only caretaker of the house who does not earn fifty Afghanis a day. So, I am asking the world to help us,” said Faiz Mohammad, another Kabul resident.
Earlier, the World Food Program said that 15 million people in Afghanistan are facing food insecurity, and due to lack of funds, this organization is forced to help 3 million people.
