Afghanistan face severe crisis of food and medicine, says Moeed Yousaf

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Adviser on National Security Moeed Yusuf has said that Afghanistan is facing severe crisis of food and medicine.

Moeed has urged the international community to deliver humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people.

In an interview with CNN, he said Pakistan is doing whatever it can and sending the supplies. He said we have also offered to become the air and land bridge for the international organizations to send the necessary supplies to Afghanistan.

The Adviser said according to the World Food Program, about 21 million Afghans are going to be acutely short of food this winter. He said the western media outlets are reporting that women are selling their children to get household commodities. He said the real issue is why not the international humanitarian organizations are being allowed to get money in Afghanistan to provide assistance in kind and provide salaries to the health staff.

Responding to a question, the Adviser on National Security said that border management is crucial for us because we cannot afford the international terrorists in Afghanistan again create trouble for us.  He said that it was India and the Afghan intelligence who were supporting them in the past 20 years.
