Save the Children Fund, the International Rescue Committee, and the European Union have announced in their reports that they will provide necessary assistance to those affected by the storms and floods in Nangarhar.
The International Rescue Committee states that its mobile teams have gone to the affected areas to deliver emergency aid to the victims.
Mohammad Nabi Afghan, an economic affairs expert, said: “They should tell the UN and global organizations to create a strategy to ensure that aid reaches those in need.”
Despite Afghanistan still being a country facing an economic crisis, with over 23 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, droughts, floods, storms, and earthquakes have caused significant damage to the country’s citizens.
Meanwhile, the World Food Programme says that in the past two months, it has provided continuous assistance to more than 125,000 flood victims in Baghlan, Faryab, Ghor, Kunar, Laghman, and Nangarhar.
Ziauddin Safi, Communications Officer of the World Food Programme, said: “The flooding caused by heavy rains in eastern Afghanistan has affected dozens of families and harmed hundreds more. Our assessment teams are currently on the ground, and their reports will help us send the necessary aid to the victims.”
At the same time, the Ministry of Economy assures that in coordination with non-governmental organizations, they are striving to deliver essential aid, including food and shelter, to the victims in Nangarhar.
Abdulrahman Habib, spokesperson for the Ministry of Economy, said: “The Ministry of Economy has coordinated with non-Emirati and aid organizations, surveyed the affected areas, and ensured immediate aid and health services are provided.”
This comes as heavy rain, storms, and floods in the provinces of Nangarhar, Kunar, Kapisa, Panjshir, and Badakhshan have resulted in significant financial losses in addition to the loss of lives.
