Humanitarian agencies may have distributed enough aid in Afghanistan to avert famine and large-scale starvation, but the country's economic collapse is 'approaching a point of irreversibility,' says UN envoy to Kabul
"We do not believe that we can truly assist the Afghan people without working with the de facto authorities [Taliban]," says UN envoy to Kabul Deborah Lyons.
UN Special Representative Deborah Lyons told the UN Security Council on Wednesday that it is "most urgent" to resolve the root problems of the economic crisis, but doing so will require cooperating on all issues with the Taliban which seized power in August after the Western-backed government collapsed.
Donors cut financial aid constituting more than 70 percent of government expenditures and about $9 billion in Afghan central bank assets were frozen. Many Taliban leaders remain under US and UN sanctions.'Averted our worst fears of famine'
