During the last four months, AIL staff have been providing relief to people affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. AIL provides cooked meals, food parcels and tea and sugar packs. The typical food parcel distribution is usually to 120 families who receive packages of rice, peas, kidney beans, lentils, oil and tomato paste. The pandemic is not over and many families lack work which they need to gain the income to provide basic necessities.
August - Now the country is being engulfed political crisis, humanitarian disaster and fear and uncertainty about the future. Many have lost homes, livelihoods and have trekked to larger cities to seek aid. Our health clinics, learning centers, offices and schools have been inundated with people seeking help. We are not a humanitarian organization but are doing all we can to help people.
AIL is providing food aid, cooked meals and PPE and basic household goods such as blankets, cooking pots etc. Staff go out and purchase whatever they can find as we are not able to get in-kind items across the borders. News about the virus and the civil situation was being relayed through Radio Meraj and TV Meraj, but broadcasting has been suspended. The health clinics are able to provide health care and health education and AIL continues to run a 50- bed Covid hospital in the Kabul area.
Your support is vital to help us care for people in this desperate situation. Thank you.
