U.N. Gets $1 Billion for Afghan Relief as Taliban Promise Access for Aid Workers

The United Nations claimed Monday that it obtained $1 billion in pledges of contemporary resources to stave off a humanitarian disaster in Afghanistan, after getting a written assurance by the Taliban authorities that they would make it possible for help employees to run freely throughout the state.

The U.N. was pleasing for $600 million to deliver relief to eleven million Afghans, including food stuff distribution, healthcare and shelter, for the future 4 months. The U.S. and its allies say they are ready to deliver help, but not by means of the new Taliban federal government, which no state has regarded but.
