KABUL (Pajhwok): The US says international banks can send money to Afghanistan for humanitarian purposes to enable donors to pay the salaries of teachers and healthcare workers in government agencies.
The Treasury Department said on Wednesday groups could pay the salaries of teachers and health workers in government institutions without fear of violating the sanctions against the Taliban.
It added donors could transfer cash to Afghanistan for humanitarian aid, paying teachers, public sector and healthcare workers directly.
The US froze Afghanistan central bank reserves worth over nine billion dollars after the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul on August 15.
