KABUL: The UN resident coordinator in Afghanistan said they would continue to work with the “de facto authority” to provide humanitarian assistance after the Taliban takeover.
Ramiz Alakbarov said on Monday that the recent battle had moved around 600,000 people, and because of the fluidity of the situation, the humanitarian team could not help everywhere.
Alakbarov, in Kabul, said he thought the international community should invest more in the health, education, and future of women and young, not necessarily so much in security infrastructure, if it wanted to avoid “the results we want to have now”.
He noted that the UN humanitarian attractiveness for Afghanistan, 1.3 billion dollars for 2021, was funded only for 38 percent
