Brussels:
The EU announced on Tuesday a one-billion-euro ($1.2-billion) help package for Afghanistan, “to avert a major humanitarian and socio-economic collapse,” mentioned the bloc’s chief, Ursula von der Leyen.
The revenue, pledged at a virtual G20 summit, adds 250 million euros to a 300-million-euro sum the EU previously announced for urgent humanitarian desires, with the remainder going to Afghanistan’s neighbouring nations taking in Afghans fleeing Taliban rule, a statement mentioned.
