(MENAFN- Khaama Press) The government of Japan will provide roughly 106.7 million dollars to Afghanistan, according to a statement from the Japanese Embassy in Kabul, to support the realization of humanitarian programs and basic needs.
The embassy stated in a tweet sent out this morning, Tuesday, December 6, that these assistance projects would be carried out by UN agencies, and other international, and non-governmental organizations with the objective of enhancing livelihoods using a variety of approaches.
According to the Japanese Embassy, with the addition of this aid package, Japan's overall assistance to Afghanistan from August 2021 to the present will amount to $335 million.
After the current administration took control of Afghanistan, Japan has now provided the country with three aid packages. Previously, in October, the Japanese government provided Afghanistan with a donation of roughly $58 million.
The Japanese media previously reported that the government of Japan has decided to provide the poverty-stricken and war-torn Afghanistan with over $100 million in aid to address the current humanitarian crisis in the country.
According to the Japanese government, the assistance would be distributed to 16 international organizations, including the UN World Food Program (WFP), World Health Organization (WHO), and the UN International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), to help improve medical and health conditions and provide food and water.
This comes as the US Special Representative for Afghanistan, Thomas West, previously visited Tokyo, the Japanese capital, and discussed the situation in Afghanistan, and the country's humanitarian needs.
