KABUL (Khaama Press): During a meeting with Leonard Zulu, the UNHCR Representative for Afghanistan, Zhao Xing, the Chinese Ambassador to Kabul, stated that his country intends to donate $1.5 million to support internally displaced Afghans.
Leonard Zulu appreciated China’s assistance in a post on social media platform X.
The Chinese Embassy in Kabul announced on Tuesday, May 7th, that this contribution will support UNHCR projects supporting internally displaced persons in Afghanistan.
The statement mentioned that China is eager to strengthen its cooperation with the UNHCR in providing humanitarian aid to Afghanistan.
In a post on the social media platform X, Leonard Zulu also wrote that he had discussed with the Chinese ambassador how the private sector in China could help create jobs for returning Afghan migrants by assisting large and medium-sized companies.
This situation unfolds against the backdrop of a dire humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, which the forced deportations from neighbouring countries, including Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey, have further exacerbated.
The current situation has worsened as displaced Afghans return, already burdened by the scarcity of resources and unstable conditions in their homeland. The continuous influx from these forced deportations adds additional strain to Afghanistan’s limited humanitarian aid capabilities.
