Malnutrition and overcrowded hospitals: aid organizations worry about Afghanistan

Interpretation of correspondent Aletta André

“Before the Taliban took power, Afghanistan was already experiencing a severe drought. This caused shortages of grain and food aid. Ministries, aid organizations and schools depend on foreign aid, but that aid has been stopped because they did not support the Taliban. wanted to support.

There is much outrage and anger at the international community. The fear that the impression is created that countries recognize the radical Islamic Taliban seems to outweigh the need to help people as quickly as possible. While many Afghans feel that the international community is also partly responsible for this crisis and that this is insufficiently recognised. The country has been left in the hands of the Taliban.”
