UN Deputy Special Representative Ramiz Arakbarov said the Afghan people are losing patience as the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate.

“The country is very poor. The country’s population has run out of patience and the situation continues to deteriorate. For years they have witnessed wars and conflicts,” Arakbarov was quoted by Sputnik. .

“People don’t have savings. The situation in banks is very critical. In the last four years, we have had two droughts in a row,” he said.

The hardship has caused some to sell their own organs and even their children, UN officials said.

About 19 to 20 million Afghans are in constant need of humanitarian assistance. Alakbarov said that in 2016 he said 20 million to about 25 million people live in poverty.

The 2021 Taliban regime has deepened the economic and humanitarian crisis. Natural disasters have also added to the suffering of the Afghan people.

In June 2022, a magnitude 6.1 earthquake hit eastern Afghanistan, killing more than 1,000 people and injuring more than 1,500.

Seasonal rains in July caused massive flooding. Many humanitarian organizations are helping Afghans with food, medicine, emergency shelters and other basic supplies.

Heavy rains and flash floods in Afghanistan have killed 95 people, injured hundreds and washed away thousands of homes, according to officials in the crisis-hit country.

Officials said deaths occurred in 10 states in the past 10 days. The country is reeling from an economic and humanitarian crisis exacerbated by Western sanctions imposed after the Taliban took power last year, he reported CNN.

Afghanistan has recently been hit by a series of natural disasters and extreme weather events, including a June earthquake that killed more than 1,000 people, CNN reported.

Approximately 2,900 houses were damaged or completely destroyed by heavy rains. This is a 10-fold increase for him since the last reporting period and is also disruptive to his life. Critical civilian infrastructure such as roads and bridges have also been affected.
