The United Nations (UN) called on donors to fulfill their pledges and commitments made during the conference to announce pledges to support Afghanistan, which was held on September 13, to ensure the response of humanitarian organizations “before it is too late”.
The appeal has so far received only 35 percent of the total requested amount, despite the flow of support and global attention to the difficult situation in Afghanistan, a statement of its the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Wednesday, according to the UN official website.
The statement called on member states to allow the free, rapid and unrestricted movement of humanitarian supplies and personnel to and from Afghanistan, and to provide humanitarian financial waivers to allow funds to reach relief organizations in the country.
