UN airlift winter shelter for Afghan refugees

Geneva: UN UNHCR refugee bodies began copying supplies for Kabul on Tuesday to help hundreds of thousands of Afghans who were moved to build shelters in front of winter.
UNHCR said the first plane was due to arriving later on Tuesday, carrying 33 tons of kits that contained floors and partitions to increase tent isolation.
Two other flights are planned on November 4 and 7.
“More resources are very necessary to reach everyone who will need help to survive the hard winter in front,” said UnhCR spokesman Shabia Manoo to a briefing in Geneva.
UNHCR said he was rushing to provide winter assistance to around 500,000 Afghans, return refugees and local host communities at the end of 2021.
It has provided assistance including shelter, food, blankets, and stoves for up to half a million Afghans this year.
Afghanistan plunged into the crisis in August after the Taliban fighters expelled a government-backed government, pushing donors to hold billions of dollars in assistance to the economy that depend on assistance.
Many Afghans sell items to buy food with Taliban who cannot pay wages to civil servants, and urban communities face food insecurity at a level similar to rural areas for the first time.
Aid groups are urgent countries, worried about human rights under the Taliban, to be involved with new rulers to prevent the collapse they say can trigger a migration crisis similar to Exodus 2015 from Syria which rocked Europe.
