Delaware: Global aid to Afghanistan is enough to keep us alive

Delawar, on Sunday, October 18, during a gathering marking the special week for fundraising by the Afghan Red Crescent Society, criticized the lack of recognition for the Taliban administration, stating that political restrictions on this group's relations with the international community have also impacted the volume of humanitarian aid.


Referring to the status of aid, he said: "Aid from all sides is very limited," and added that the level of support is such that people neither completely collapse nor have the necessary conditions for a decent livelihood. Delawar emphasized that in such a situation, this organization must make greater efforts to secure the resources it needs.


The head of the Afghan Red Crescent Society also criticized the stance of countries that consider themselves advocates of human rights, saying that Taliban leaders are on the blacklist and that this group's administration has not been recognized by the international community.


At the same gathering, Abdul Salam Hanafi, the Taliban's Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs, called for greater support for the Afghan Red Crescent Society. Without naming specific countries, he said that approximately a thousand Afghan citizens are forcibly deported from other countries daily.


Hanafi announced that the number of Afghan citizens who have returned to the country in recent years exceeds eight million, and said that these individuals need humanitarian aid to meet their needs.


At the conclusion of this gathering, Johannes Broers, head of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Afghanistan, and officials from the Afghan Red Crescent Society signed a joint cooperation agreement for the years 2027 to 2029.


These requests for increased humanitarian aid come as international organizations report that more than half of Afghanistan's population requires urgent assistance.


At the same time, restrictions imposed by the Taliban and this group's interference in the activities of aid organizations have been cited as factors affecting the operations of several aid groups in Afghanistan, leading to the suspension of activities for some of them.



Shahabuddin Delawar, head of the Afghan Red Crescent Society under Taliban control, says that international community aid to this organization is severely limited and insufficient to meet the extensive needs of the people.
