The EU has increased its humanitarian aid in Afghanistan since the Taliban took over and other countries along with World Bank also sent reliefs.

“If the economy collapses, then the humanitarian situation will be much worse. The tension for people to leave the country will be bigger, the terrorist threat will be bigger so the risks emanating Afghanistan affecting the international community will be bigger”. he added.
