· 1 min read · 289 views · Updated

KABUL (Pajhwok): The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says more than 17 million people need healthcare assistance in Afghanistan this year.

UNOCHA tweeted: “Of the 17.6 million people in need of healthcare assistance in Afghanistan in 2023, partners have prioritized to reach 15.6 million people.”

“To effectively do so, they need $450 million to provide healthcare services, outbreak response, maternal and child healthcare and services for people with disabilities,” the UN agency wrote.

A few days ago, UNOCHA tweeted that 28.3 million people in Afghanistan needed assistance, particularly in the health sector.
