The US Lifts Many Curbs, Allows International Banks to Transfer Money to Afghanistan for Humanitarian Purpose
New Delhi: Small relief arrived for the people of Afghanistan as the US government has granted permission to the International banks to transfer money to Afghanistan for humanitarian purposes. Now aid agencies can also pay the salaries of teachers and health workers in all state-run institutions.
According to the media report, as per the new announcement of the US, aid groups and international banks will violate no sanctions by doing so.
A few days back the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres however, said that Afghanistan is hanging by a thread.
The US Department of Treasury has said the international banks can process transactions related to humanitarian operations that include settlement, clearing, and transfer through or otherwise involving privately owned and state-owned Afghan depository institutions.
In the meantime, the department permitted transactions involving the Taliban, which also include the blacklisted Haqqani Network.
The move will help for the betterment of the lives of the Afghan people and the economic situation of the country as they are going through the worst humanitarian situation on earth.
According to the health and care, and other social working agencies in Afghanistan – the situation in Afghanistan has been worsened as people are ready to sell their body organs like a kidney to survive. Millions of people are trying to migrate to other countries and thousands of people have lost their jobs in the last few months.
