According to @UN estimates, 60 percent of Afghanistan’s 38 million people face “crisis levels of hunger” and that situation is getting worse every day.
According to @Refugees , 665,000 people have been newly displaced within Afghanistan between January and September 2021 – in addition to the 2.9 million people already internally displaced in that country.
The experts believe that the advent of winter is further exacerbating the situation, which if left unattended, could aggravate a major humanitarian crisis.
As the people of #Afghanistan face a humanitarian calamity and economic collapse, the initiative of #SaudiArabia, supported by #Pakistan to mobilize the @OIC_OCI is laudable: Former foreign secretary @Salman_B_PK
“The @OIC_OCI has always played an important role in Afghanistan. It is good to see the Saudis take a lead on the humanitarian aspects of the situation,” @Salman_B_PK ,who also served as High Commissioner to India, wrote in an op-ed published in @arabnewspk
On #SaudiArabia’s initiative joined by 🇵🇰, an extraordinary session of the Foreign Ministers of @OIC_OCI states is being held in Islamabad on Dec 19 to evolve a joint framework of cooperation with regards to the humanitarian situation in #Afghanistan.
