The United Nations has announced the appointment of French official Bruno Georges Lemarquis as the new Deputy Special Representative and Humanitarian Coordinator in Afghanistan. He officially succeeds Indrika Ratwatte in the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).
This key appointment comes at a critical time as Afghanistan faces severe humanitarian and economic challenges, with millions relying on foreign aid. Existing restrictions on education and employment have further complicated the crisis, highlighting UNAMA's vital role in coordinating international assistance.
Lemarquis brings over three decades of extensive experience in humanitarian and development sectors. Having previously served in similar high-level roles in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Haiti, he is now tasked with leading one of the world's largest aid operations in Afghanistan.
