Australia is sending more than $50m in additional humanitarian support to Afghanistan, aiming to address the deteriorating situation exacerbated by the Taliban failing to meet basic human needs. The Australian Government will provide a further $50 million in humanitarian support. Agencies including the World Food Programme and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs’ Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund, are among those who will deliver Australia’s package. Australian humanitarian agencies, working alongside UN partners and local organisations will play a vital role in delivering the humanitarian assistance. Ensuring humanitarian assistance reaches them safely and directly remains essential,” ACFID chief executive Matthew Maury said.
