More support vital to put Afghanistan back on positive trajectory

United Nations, Sep 11 (UNI) After four decades of conflict and insecurity, and with elections to be held in the coming months against a backdrop of growing humanitarian need, Afghanistan needs more support than ever to tackle its challenges, have said the United Nations humanitarian and refugee chiefs after a joint two-day visit in the country.
The United Nations humanitarian affairs chief, Mark Lowcock, and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, were speaking to the press in Geneva on Monday, ahead of a major international conference on Afghanistan due to be held in November.
“The world needs to pay a bit more attention again to Afghanistan to help them through this challenging period,” said Mark Lowcock, “it’s possible that a year from now they could be back on a positive trajectory if they get the right engagement and help”.
