New York: Human Rights Watch called on the United Nations and the World Bank to overcome the collapsed Afghan economy and a damaged banking system to prevent widespread hunger.
“The economy and social services of Afghanistan collapsed, with Afghans throughout the country have suffered acute malnutrition,” said John Sifton, Director of Asia Advocacy at Human Rights Watch.
“Humanitarian assistance is very important, but given the crisis, government, the United Nations and international financial institutions need to immediately adjust the limits and sanctions that affect the economy and the state banking sector.” After the takeover of the Afghanistan Afghanistan Taliban, millions of dollars in lost income, spiking prices, liquidity crises, and cash shortages have seized many populations access to food, water, residence, and health care, said Human Rights Watch.
The UN World Food Program has issued several warnings of worsening insecurity and the risk of large-scale death from hunger throughout Afghanistan in the coming months.
Some media have reported that families who lack money and food sell their items and try to escape from the country land.
Afghanistan who impoverishes the lack of nutrition has described a desperate effort to buy or look for food for food, and the death of people cannot leave.
“The financial crisis mainly affects women and girls, who face greater obstacles that are disproportionally to get food, health care, and financial resources.
The ban on the Taliban that keeps women from most paid jobs has hit the household where women are producers The main most difficult.
Even in areas where women are still allowed to work – such as education and health care – they may not be able to adhere to the Taliban requirements for male family members to escort women to and from work, “Read the HRW report.
A number of banking officials and humanitarian agency staff told Human Rights Watch that most Afghan banks could not cover withdrawals by private actors and aid organizations.
Even when funds are transmitted electronically to banks, the lack of cash means that money is not physically available and therefore cannot flow into the country’s economy, add the report.
To overcome the Afghan Humanitarian Crisis, Human Rights Watch recommended that the Government, UN, World Bank and Taliban must work to reach an agreement to enable access to Afghan International Bank to the international banking system to Afghanistan.
“As a first step, the US Ministry of Finance and other financial authorities must issue a license and guidance to enable the central bank to be involved in a limited settlement transaction with private banks outside so that the bank can pay the fees and process of the bank’s bank or solve the dollar that entered depositors from private deposits Legitimate, such as UNICEF, UN Development Program, Bank Delivery Bank, and other legitimate actors, “he added further.
“Humanity donors and human vote cannot overcome intelligent reality that UN agencies, humanitarian groups, and Afghan Diaspora cannot send assets to non-functioning banking systems, and account holders in Afghanistan cannot attract cash that does not Can attract cash.
T there, “Sifton said.
“The widespread death and suffering from hunger can be prevented if the government acts urgently to overcome the Afghan economic crisis,” added Sifton.
