UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Monday announced the allocation of $ 20 million to support humanitarian operations in Afghanistan, said the authority of the “de facto” in a war-hit country had “promised” to work together to ensure assistance to the public.
“Afghans need a lifeline.
After decades of war, suffering, and insecurity, they may face the most dangerous hours.
Now is the time for the international community to stand with them,” said Guterres at a Humanitarian Conference in Afghanistan held by Geneva .
At the global conference, Guterres announced the allocation of $ 20 million from the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund to support humanitarian operations in Afghanistan.
Reminding that “was a short time and a quick moving event in Afghanistan,” Guterres filed an appeal to the international community to extend “lifelines to the people of Afghanistan – and do everything we can – and everything we have – to help them – to help them – to help them – to help them – to help them stick to hope.
“The United Nations held a high-level minister’s event on the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan to highlight acute needs in the country and underline the urgent funding fund support needed by International partners to support Afghan communities.
When Afghans really need food, medicine, health services, safe water, sanitation, and protection, UN institutions and non-government partners have launched a flash appeal that is looking for USD 606 million for the rest of this year to bring vital assistance to be 11 million people.
He told the conference that he had asked the UN Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Aid Coordinator Martin Griffiths to travel to Kabul last week to fulfill the Taliban leadership.
Griffiths have met with the Taliban Co-Founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and the leadership of militant clothing in Kabul to engage with authorities for humanitarian problems.
“The De Facto authorities promised to work together to ensure assistance was delivered to the Afghans.
Our staff and all aid workers must be allowed to do their vital work safely – without harassment, intimidation, or fear,” said Guterres, “said Guterres , “said tennis player.
Last week, the Taliban announced a temporary government led by Mullah Mohammad Hasan Akhund, head of the body of a strong Taliban decision-making ‘Rehbari Shura’.
He will be the prime minister of acting while Baradar will be his representative in the “New Islamic Government”.
At least 14 Cabinet members, including the Prime Minister of Acting Mullah Akhund, registered on the black list of the UN Security Council.
The UN head said.
that to continue the “effort to save life” in Afghanistan, “four things” are required immediately – funding; help to increase humanitarian access; It is necessary to maintain the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan and need to ensure that humanity response saves life but also saves livelihoods.
In funding, said Guterres, “We need more.
We need it quickly.
And we need it to be quite flexible to adapt to fast conditions in the field.” He urged for assistance from the international community to improve humanitarian access, including Airbridge with Kabul and other hubs in Afghanistan.
“UN humanitarian air service established Airbridge from Islamabad to Kandahar, Mazar and Herat, with operations running since the end of August.
This work must continue.
Many more are needed.” He added that “we must be able to move assistance workers and humanitarian supplies in and out of the country.” Stressing that one of the bright places Afghanistan is now a new generation of women leaders and entrepreneurs, educated and developing over the past two decades, Guterres said Afghanistan women and daughters want to ensure that profits are not lost and hope is not extinguished.
“This is the center of the country’s future and every Afghanistan.” Express concern that the Afghans faced the collapse of the entire country “at once”, Guterres said Afghanistan facing emergency development and the progress of the last two decades must be protected.
“In doing so, we must ensure that the local economy remains functional; that people can live in their communities and in their homes; that they have access to basic services, basic income and social protection.” Guterres said this conference is not just about what “we will give it to the Afghans.
It’s about what we owe.”
