IOM: Afghanistan Severely Impacted by Drought and Air Pollution

Published 25/07/2024
SHARE

RASC News Agency: The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has identified Afghanistan as one of the ten countries most severely affected by climate change. On Wednesday, July 24, the IOM posted on its X page that it has been working on constructing a control dam in the Khas Kunar district to mitigate flood risks, protect 900 families, and secure water reserves for agriculture.

 

The organization reported employing 69 local workers from the area and constructing the dam through a cash-for-work program. The IOM’s statement read: “We are also empowering communities by providing training and equipment for early warning systems, first aid, and initial search and rescue operations, helping them prepare for disasters.”

 

According to international agencies, Afghanistan, among South Asian countries, has been significantly affected by recent droughts. Last year, Takashi Okada, Japan’s ambassador in Kabul, expressed to Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban’s foreign minister, that the international community is interested in cooperating with the Taliban on climate change, water management, combating terrorism, and preserving cultural heritage.

 

It is notable that many Afghanistanis consider the Taliban a terrorist group. Climate change in Afghanistan has led to the emergence of various diseases, affecting many people. The air quality in Afghanistan, particularly in Kabul, is severely polluted, with smog and dark clouds dominating the city’s skyline.
