Dear President of the European Commission Mrs Ursula von der Leyen,

On behalf of the suffering Afghan people, we thank the European Union for its humanitarian aid.

The Afghan people have been suffering from difficult and life-threatening conditions since the beginning of the terrible Taliban rule. Several million people have had to leave their homes as refugees and displaced persons and spend the nights on the streets and parks. Many of they are already ill. Unemployment, poor economic conditions and drought are the main causes of the current famine catastrophe, which is why more than half of the population is suffering from hunger.

Health care is in danger of collapse due to a lack of medicines. The EU’s humanitarian aid is just right and is urgently needed to avert the disaster. The humanitarian aid of the EU should be used for food and medicine.

Once again we thank the President of the European Commission Mrs Ursula von der Leyen. We also thank the EU High Representative for Foreign affairs, Mr. Josep Borrell, and all the governments of the EU Member States.

We also thank the Italian Prime Minister, Mr Mario Draghi, who organised the special summit of the G20 countries for Afghanistan.

With kind regards



Hayattullah Maiwand
