World Bank suspends aid disbursements to Afghanistan
The World Bank has halted aid disbursements to Afghanistan, citing concerns about how the Taliban takeover will affect the country’s development prospects, especially for women.
The global monetary bank had committed $784m in development funds for Afghanistan in 2021.
“We have paused disbursements in our operations in Afghanistan and we are closely monitoring and assessing the situation in line with our internal policies and procedures,” a World Bank spokeswoman said.
