The economic situation in Afghanistan has been deteriorating since the Taliban took over. Recently some important reports have said that poverty, unemployment and hunger are increasing in Afghanistan. In the midst of Afghanistan’s sinking economy, the European Union has now extended a helping hand to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.
On Tuesday, the European Union announced that it would provide 1 billion euros in aid to Afghanistan. So that the crisis on humanity and the deteriorating economic condition can be brought back on track. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was present at the virtual G20 conference. Italy is hosting this conference. During this, Ursula von der Leyen also reiterated her resolve to continue helping humanity in Afghanistan.
He stressed in his statement that this money is meant to help Afghanistan gradually. This money will be given to those international organizations who are working there on the ground. He made it clear that this money will not be given to the Taliban government as they have not yet been recognized. Ursula von der Leyen said, ‘We must all do whatever we can to protect humanity and the socio-economic condition in Afghanistan.
We have to do it fast. He added, “We stand on our terms and are very clear about any cooperation with the Taliban. But the people there should not be punished for this act of Taliban.
It is being told that the 1 billion package will be used to improve the health system of Afghanistan. Apart from this, it will be used for migrant management and fighting the fight against terrorism.
