Officials also reported that in the past year, six psychological therapy centers have provided care and mental health services to 2,383 patients.
The Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS) states that the international community’s failure to recognize the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has had a negative impact on humanitarian aid to the country.
During a program highlighting their one-year achievements, ARCS officials called on the international community not to politicize aid and to increase assistance based on the actual needs within Afghanistan.
According to ARCS, over the past year, more than 4.69 million people across the country have received humanitarian support, including cash assistance, food, and non-food items.
Azizurrahman, Deputy Head of the Afghan Red Crescent Society, said: “The Afghan Red Crescent Society, based on its seven fundamental principles, delivers humanitarian services in coordination with other national institutions. This work is completely independent of politics and should not be politicized.”
Officials also reported that in the past year, six psychological therapy centers have provided care and mental health services to 2,383 patients.
Ruhullah Abdussalam, ARCS Deputy for Operations, stated: “Over the past year, the Afghan Red Crescent Society has provided health services to 3.897 million people across the country.”
The ARCS is a non-budgetary organization currently operating in seven zones across Afghanistan with more than 3,000 employees.
According to its officials, the organization’s budget is funded through partnerships with international donors, domestic support, and contributions from other aid organizations.
