This is the warning from senior aid officials, who are urging the international community to do more to help.
The situation in Afghanistan has been precarious for many years, but it has been exacerbated by the recent Taliban takeover. Millions of Afghans are now facing poverty, hunger, and displacement, and the situation is only getting worse.
According to the United Nations, around 18 million Afghans, almost half the population, are in need of humanitarian assistance. This includes over 5 million children who are at risk of malnutrition, disease, and exploitation.
The crisis is particularly acute for women and girls, who face severe restrictions on their freedom, education, and healthcare. Many have been forced to flee their homes, and thousands are seeking refuge in neighboring countries.
Despite the scale of the crisis, the international response has been slow and inadequate. Funding for humanitarian assistance is falling short of the needs, and aid organizations are struggling to deliver assistance to those who need it most.
Senior aid officials are calling on the international community to step up their support for Afghanistan. They are urging governments to provide more funding for humanitarian aid, to open their borders to Afghan refugees, and to press for an inclusive and peaceful political solution to the crisis.
But ultimately, the fate of the Afghan people rests in the hands of the Taliban. The new government must show that it is committed to protecting the human rights of all Afghans, including women and girls, and to ensuring that aid can be delivered safely and effectively.
The humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan is far from over, and we cannot forget the millions of people who are suffering. Let us join the call for action and support the people of Afghanistan in their time of need.
