The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid in Afghanistan (OCHA) announced Sunday that Norway has donated 1.8 million to the country for aid purposes.
OCHA posted a message on X on Sunday that the money was donated to the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund (AHF).
Expressing gratitude for the Norwegian aid, OCHA said that Oslo has contributed 189 million Krone ($70 million) to the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund in the last 10 years.
This institution announced last month that only 25% of the $3.06 billion dollars needed for Afghanistan in 2024 has been provided.
At that time, OCHA requested countries and donor organizations to provide more help from the international community in order to address the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
About two months ago, OCHA reported that 23.7 million people in Afghanistan need humanitarian aid.
