Afghanistan Peace CampaignThe United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) for Afghanistan has reported that it has provided aid to 15.3 million people in Afghanistan over the past nine months.
On Tuesday, December 10, OCHA published a message on its X page, stating that 23.7 million people in Afghanistan still require humanitarian assistance.
The report indicates that over 17 million of those in need have been reached by the organization’s efforts.
According to OCHA, addressing the needs of the population in Afghanistan will require a budget of $3.6 billion, with $958 million already received.
As the winter season begins in Afghanistan, international aid organizations have warned of an increase in demand for assistance due to the harsh conditions.
Previously, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) had also warned that 14.8 million people in Afghanistan will require immediate aid during the upcoming winter season.
With the mounting challenges posed by the winter season, it is critical for international bodies to continue providing the necessary aid and resources to the people of Afghanistan. As the humanitarian crisis deepens, the global community’s response will play a crucial role in alleviating the suffering of millions.
