Afghanistan faces humanitarian crisis

Newsday

Available for over a year

We're continuing our coverage of Afghanistan here on Newsday. As Western governments continue the evacuation of foreign nationals and Afghans who worked for them, the country faces a humanitarian crisis after an 800 million dollar shortfall in pledged aid funding. We'll look at the situation and hear from a senior UN Envoy in Kabul. We're also in New Zealand - bringing you an update of the Covid situation there after the country imposed a strict lock down when a single person tested positive for the Delta variant. And to Israel too - where we've witnessed a rise in Coronavirus cases despite it being one of the most vaccinated countries in the world.
