23 Million Afghans Need Humanitarian Support, Says UNHCR

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHRC) announced that of the 28 million people in need in Afghanistan, 23 million have been prioritised to receive aid. UNHCR added that if the organisation receives enough funding, it is possible to support the people.

The United Nations urged countries to respond to the call of the organisation to support the people of Afghanistan.

The United Nations has requested 4.6 billion dollars to provide humanitarian aid to Afghanistan.

After the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan in August 2021, more than 90% of the Afghan people have been facing severe economic and food crisis.
