United Nations is hosting a high-level donors conference on September 13, 2021 seeking emergency funds for Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover of the country.
UN seeks $606 million to aid Afghanistan after Taliban takeover
UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, was leading the United Nations meeting and called for more than $600 million in a “flash appeal” for Afghans. The Taliban topples the country as the U.S. and NATO forces exited 20-year war in a chaotic departure.
Appeal for $600 million was made in the light of concerns that instability & upended humanitarian efforts along with the ongoing drought would further endanger lives and push Afghanistan toward famine.
