The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has issued a stark warning about a significant funding shortfall jeopardizing humanitarian operations in Afghanistan, Amu TV reported. According to OCHA\u2019s recent report, Afghanistan Humanitarian Response Gap Analysis 2024, only 53% of the $3.06 billion required for the year\u2019s response plan has been secured as of mid-2025, leaving a gap of approximately $1.43 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the financial constraints, humanitarian partners managed to assist over 22.4 million people in 2024, surpassing the initial target of 17.3 million. However, the report highlights major disparities in the type and frequency of aid delivered. Nearly 67% of recipients received only food aid, often with reduced rations and longer intervals between distributions. More comprehensive support\u2014including clean water, healthcare, education, and emergency shelter\u2014reached just 3.1 million people, covering only 41% of the 7.6 million people targeted monthly in these sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

OCHA expressed serious concern over ongoing shortfalls, particularly in water and sanitation services, which increase the risk of disease outbreaks, malnutrition, and preventable deaths. \u201cInsufficient funding for core sectors continues to undermine the delivery of essential services and increases the vulnerability of Afghan families,\u201d the agency stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While late pledges as of May 2025 helped raise funding from 47% to 53% of the target, totaling $1.63 billion, and an additional $412.5 million in carryover funds from 2023 were added, these amounts remain inadequate to close the gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OCHA called for urgent international action, warning that without swift intervention, progress in stabilizing Afghanistan\u2019s humanitarian situation could be reversed. \u201cThe international community must not allow Afghanistan to slide further into crisis due to a failure of funding,\u201d the report concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
