ICRC: 700,000 people have lost their jobs in Afghanistan in the past year
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that the situation in Afghanistan will worsen in the coming winter.
The committee on Thursday said in a series of tweets that the country is currently in the grips of an increasing humanitarian crisis.
The International Committee of the Red Cross has once again emphasized that more than 700,000 people have lost their jobs since last year and 90% of the working people earn less than $1.90 a day, the organization said.
The committee also added that millions of people in Afghanistan, including children, need “urgent” aid and that without the support of the international community, the humanitarian situation will worsen.
The Red Cross has warned that humanitarian needs are increasing every day and must be addressed before winter sets in.
