The Taliban-controlled Central Bank announced on Tuesday that Afghanistan has received another 40 million dollars cash package.

The bank said in a statement that it welcomed any move that brings in money into Afghanistan.

The Taliban have said that the cash package has been handed over to a commercial bank in Kabul.

While the Iranian rial and Pakistani rupee have lost value in recent days, the value of the Afghani currency has remained stable in the market. Observers believe that one of the main reasons for the stable value of Afghani is the cash packages being delivered as humanitarian aid to Afghanistan.

In more than one and a half years since the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban, over 1.8 billion dollars of cash packages have been delivered to Kabul on a weekly basis.

Sending millions of dollars of "humanitarian" aid to Afghanistan under the control of the Taliban has been met with support and criticisms of many Afghans.

Critics believe that the Taliban benefit from international humanitarian aid. Earlier, Ahmad Massoud, leader of the National Resistance Front, had said that the Taliban regime would fall if the weekly cash delivery to Afghanistan had been cut off.

However, the United Nations has said it is necessary to save millions of needy people in Afghanistan through the humanitarian aid.
