The United States announced a new two billion dollar humanitarian aid package for the UN but explicitly excluded Afghanistan and Yemen.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated this new model aims to share the aid burden with other developed nations.
Despite facing a severe humanitarian crisis, Afghanistan is left out of this funding allocation.
The US described the amount as “generous” and maintained its position as the world’s largest donor.
Analysts suggest this decision could increase pressure on aid organizations operating in Afghanistan.
A reduction in international aid will directly impact the lives of millions of vulnerable Afghans.
