The Afghan Taliban took over Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, on August 15, and it has been a full month. The social order and people’s lives in Kabul are gradually returning to normal. However, the economic and humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is worrisome due to the economic blockade measures taken by the United States and the West against Afghanistan, including the freezing of assets.
In this regard, many United Nations agencies once again stated on the 14th that the international community should engage with the Taliban in Afghanistan and increase humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan to avoid the collapse of Afghanistan’s economy, people’s livelihood, and social order.

UN High Commissioner for Refugees Grandi said on the 14th that the international community should reach an agreement with the Taliban in Afghanistan as soon as possible and increase humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan. Grandi said that Afghanistan urgently needs the inflow of funds and materials. Once the Afghan economy collapses, it will cause social chaos and a large-scale refugee flow.

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Grandi: I think there is no choice in humanitarian assistance. This is an urgent matter, especially in the special situation of Afghanistan, which is even more urgent. Lack of assistance can lead to large-scale displacement of people. Although we have not seen such things in the past few weeks, such things will happen once the economy collapses.

Officials from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations said that wheat is very important to Afghanistan and is related to food security. However, as the wheat planting season approaches, Afghanistan’s current stock of wheat seeds is seriously insufficient. The official warned that if Afghanistan still faces an economic blockade and the humanitarian assistance of the international community cannot be sustained, Afghanistan will face a serious food security crisis.
