Bayat Foundation distributed food parcels in Samangan province this week, bringing some relief to hundreds of at-risk families.
The food parcels included flour, rice and oil and were distributed to families identified by the foundation to be in critical need of food.
According to Bayat Foundation officials, the main aim of the program is to help Afghans in desperate need of food.
“Today we distributed food to families in Aybak city, in Samangan province. This aid included flour, rice and oil,” said Saqib, a representative of Bayat Foundation in the northern zone of the country.
Recipients of the aid welcomed the initiative and called for other organizations to also help people who are facing extreme hunger.
“We are living in poverty now. We don’t have anything to eat, and are not earning money,” said Farahidin, a resident of Samangan.
“Our economy is very bad, my husband is jobless. We are grateful for the aid from Bayat Foundation,” said Jamila, another resident of Samangan.
“We thank Bayat Foundation that helped us. We want them to continue their assistance,” said Mohammad Afzal, another resident of Samangan.
Bayat Foundation officials have pledged to continue their campaign to provide food aid to desperate families amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis gripping the country.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has indirectly criticized Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Interior Minister Nancy Faeser for promising to deport Afghan or Syrian criminals quickly.
“I believe that, especially in such uncertain times, it is not a contribution to security if you promise things that you then no longer know quite how you can actually keep the next day,” Baerbock said at an event in Hamburg, without mentioning Scholz or Faeser by name.
She said that violent criminals have “lost their right to protection,” however, one should not suggest that the problem of dangerous people can be solved by “quickly” deporting them to Afghanistan or Syria.
Baerbock also warned again against allowing the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) to dictate the conditions for taking back criminals.
“That’s why I’m careful not to promise things that I don’t know how to implement,” she added.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed last month that Germany will start deporting criminals from Afghanistan and Syria again after a knife attack by an Afghan immigrant left one police officer dead and several other people injured.
Germany’s interior minister Nancy Faeser also said Germany was considering deporting Afghan migrants who posed a security threat back to Afghanistan.
IEA, however, called on Germany to avoid deportation of Afghans to a third country, but address the matter through normal consular engagement.

Rashid Meredov, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, has accepted Fazl Mohammad Sabir as the Charge d’Affaires of the Embassy of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) in Ashgabat.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan, Meredov said at a ceremony on the occasion that Turkmenistan and Afghanistan are planning to implement major projects, so it is necessary to increase the level of diplomatic relations.
He expressed hope that with the joint diplomatic efforts of the two countries, the practical work of the TAPI gas pipeline, TAPI power transmission and railway between Torghundi and Herat will begin soon.
The Islamic Emirate took control of Afghanistan in August 2021, but no country has recognized it as a government.
But some countries in the region have established closer relations with the Islamic Emirate than others.
In December last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping accepted Asadullah Bilal Karimi’s credentials as Afghanistan’s ambassador to Beijing.

The U.S. Congressional Human Rights Commission said in a statement it will hold a meeting on Tuesday this week to review the situation of Afghan women.
This meeting will be held on Tuesday next week with the presence of Rina Amiri, the US special representative for Afghan women’s affairs, Heather Barr, director of the Women’s Rights Division at Human Rights Watch and a number of other Afghan women.
Based on the statement of the commission, the participants of this meeting will review the human rights issues including the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan and provide recommendations for the action of the US Congress.
“Since August 2021, the situation of Afghan women and girls has significantly worsened. A growing list of severe restrictions imposed by the Taliban has severely reduced women’s ability to participate in public life,” the statement read.
This commission also pointed to the prohibition of women from work and denial of access to education, adding that the control over women’s private lives has increased.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate has always rejected concerns about the violation of women’s rights in Afghanistan and emphasized that it is committed to respecting women’s rights in accordance with Islamic Sharia.
