"Every man, woman and child in Afghanistan can face acute poverty.”


New York: United Nations on Friday has called for restoration of Afghanistan's frozen foreign exchange reserves as the country is facing humanitarian crisis.
United Nations’ Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that the world is in a race against time to help people in Afghanistan, where a nightmare is unfolding. “Without a more concerted effort from the international community, every man, woman and child in Afghanistan can face acute poverty.”
UN Chief said that currently, over half of the country's population depends on life-saving assistance.
He called for allowing the International funding to pay the salaries of public-sector workers, and to help Afghan institutions deliver healthcare, education and other vital services.
