RASC News Agency: Daniel Anders, the coordinator of the humanitarian aid of the United Nations in Afghanistan, has announced the death of 30 humanitarian workers in the last two years in this country.
On Saturday, August 19, he said in a video message on the occasion of World Humanitarian Day that most of the victim employees are vaccinators and mine neutralization.
He said, the risks threaten humanitarian workers while performing their duties and this is not acceptable.
Daniel Andres emphasized that without the activities of humanitarian workers, millions of people would be deprived of access to vital needs.
He added that today the number of humanitarian needs in Afghanistan has reached its peak and 29 million people are in need of help.
At the same time, according to him, financial resources are running out and this has caused the life and health of millions of people to be threatened.
It should be noted that the restrictions imposed by the Taliban group on women are considered to be on the side of humanitarian crises in other countries, including the reduction of aid to Afghanistan.
Although UN officials have repeatedly asked the Taliban group to cancel the restrictions on women’s education and employment, this group imposed more restrictions against women by insisting on the implementation of Islamic orders in their own words.
Achim Steiner, the head of the United Nations Development Program, recently warned that if the restrictions against the education and employment of women, especially the work of Afghanistani women in the United Nations institutions, are not lifted, the organization will be forced to leave Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, according to the order attributed to the leader of the Taliban group, Afghanistani women were banned from working in the UN offices, and this order was met with many reactions.
