Afghanistan gets $40 million in humanitarian cash aid
ISLAMABAD (AA) – Afghanistan has received another tranche of $40 million in humanitarian cash assistance, according to the country’s central bank.
The amount arrived from donor countries to help the people of Afghanistan.
“This is the second tranche which arrived this week and has been handed over to commercial banks,” Da Afghanistan Bank said in a statement.
The bank had received an initial $40 million humanitarian cash assistance tranche earlier this week.
Welcoming the aid, the bank urged the international community to interact and cooperate with Afghanistan in other areas and help its people.
War-torn Afghanistan is facing a humanitarian crisis after the exit of foreign forces August 2021 and the fall of the US-backed Kabul administration which resulted in the Taliban regaining power after 20 years of war.
As the Taliban-led interim government awaits recognition by the international community that would allow it to bring in foreign investments and other financial benefits, the UN is leading a humanitarian mission to support people in need in the country.
