The Russian invasion of Ukraine must not make the world forget Afghanistan, the UN refugee chief said on Tuesday, warning that ignoring its humanitarian needs could be very risky.
KABUL, Afghanistan —
“The whole attention of the world at the moment is focussed on Ukraine,” Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, told AFP at a UN compound in the Afghan capital. Donor countries, UN agencies and Afghan civil society are set to take part in an online fund raising event this month. The summit would focus on delivering food, shelter and health services, particularly for women and girls.
In January, the UN made its biggest-ever single-country aid appeal, calling for $5 billion to avert a humanitarian catastrophe. “Generous response has to continue” for Afghanistan, he said, a country that has millions of its citizens living as refugees in neighbouring countries like Iran and Pakistan.
And if the Taliban continue to make progress on issues like women’s rights, then steady international aid will also continue to come to Afghanistan, Grandi added.
