RASC News Agency: In the ongoing effort to provide support to flood-stricken victims in various provinces of the country, local officials from the Taliban group have extended their assistance to over one thousand families affected by the deluge in Uruzgan and Ghazni provinces.
According to the group, they have supplied food and financial aid to 1,276 families in Uruzgan and 30 families in Ghazni who have been severely impacted by the floods. The Kandahar Immigrants Institute, in collaboration with the World Food Program and the World Bank, facilitated the distribution of aid in Chenartoi district of Uruzgan province. This information was reported in a newsletter released by the Department of Rural Rehabilitation and Development of the Taliban group in Uruzgan on Sunday, October 22.
Additionally, the newsletter highlights that the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) has provided monetary assistance to 30 families affected by natural disasters in Ghazni’s city center. Each family, affected by the flood in the Khairabad area of Ghazni, received 74,000 Kabuli rupees as cash aid, the current currency in Afghanistan.
The gravity of this year’s floods, which have ravaged different provinces of the country, resulting in the destruction of numerous homes, cannot be overstated. Notably, the local officials from the Taliban group in Paktika recently announced the distribution of improved seeds and children’s toys by the Norwegian Committee for Afghanistan to farmers in the province, whose lands were devastated by the floods.
It is important to highlight that the affected families who received assistance from foreign institutions in these provinces expressed dissatisfaction, deeming the aid insufficient, and requested further support.
