RASC News Agency: The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (OCHA) says that 6.3 million people in Afghanistan will not have access to clean water due to the lack of funds for aid agencies.
On Monday, September 4, this institution, by publishing a message on the X/Twitter social network, listed the consequences of the lack of funds for providing humanitarian services to the people of Afghanistan.
This United Nations agency added that 4.3 million people will not have access to a sanitary toilet, three and a half million people will not have access to services for the safe disposal of waste, and another two million people will not have access to water, sanitary services and personal hygiene services.
According to information released by OCHA, among those who will lose access to health services are one million women and girls.
This organization added that 1.4 million women, 3.4 million children and one million people with disabilities will face challenges in accessing medical and health services.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (OCHA) had previously warned of the consequences of the lack of funds for the provision of humanitarian services in Afghanistan.
The relief agencies had requested 2.26 billion dollars for relief in Afghanistan in the second half of this year.
Earlier, the World Health Organization said in a report that Afghanistan is currently facing a long-term humanitarian crisis and millions of people in this country are living in poverty and lack of access to health services and food.
According to this report, 28.8 million people in Afghanistan need urgent aid, while this figure was 18.4 million before the Taliban regained control in August 2021.
The organization said it needs $125 million in additional funding to continue meeting basic health needs until the end of 2023.
