UN: 24 million people in Afghanistan urgently need help

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says 24 million Afghans are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees wrote in a tweet that the current situation in Afghanistan is worrying and the country is threatened by a humanitarian crisis.

Earlier, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Filippo Grande, said that half a million people had been displaced in Afghanistan in recent months, an increase that would increase if health services, education and the economy were cut off.

“We are really concerned about the economic situation and basic services such as education and health, which, if they collapse, will lead to a massive humanitarian crisis and, most likely, widespread displacement,” he said.

Unemployment and poverty in Afghanistan have risen since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan and the Afghanistan’s assets were frozen.
