the cry of alarm from UNICEF

“I was in Herat and Kandahar (Afghanistan) with Unicef ​​and I saw the extreme human misery that there is in hospitals and health centers. I have seen, on several occasions, children almost die in front of me. I am here to bear witness to the suffering of these people and to mobilize all international assistance “, says Hervé Ludovic De Lys. “This crisis has something special in the sense that it represents the test to demonstrate that international solidarity really exists”, he continues.

“We need money equivalent to that of the World Food Program (WFP): $ 220 million per month. The nutritional situation of children is dire.”, insists the representative of Unicef ​​in Afghanistan. “Institutional donors fear that humanitarian aid will go to the Taliban regime, but we have the mechanisms to make sure that the aid really goes to the people who need it. The Afghan winter is here and at least some help is needed. for the next six months “, insists Hervé Ludovic De Lys, who also calls for individual solidarity via the Unicef ​​site.
