During the last four months, AIL staff have been continuing to provide relief to people affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Many people had nowhere to turn to for food aid, personal protective equipment or virus information.
Now the country is being engulfed a political crisis and humanitarian disaster with 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.
Our news reporting has been halted and we await instructions on resuming our coverage of the virus and civil situation through Radio Meraj and TV Meraj. The health clinics are able to provide health care and health education referring Covid patients to the governmental clinics. AIL continues to run a 50- bed Covid hospital in the Kabul area.
Your support is vital to help us care for people in Afghanistan who have been affected by the pandemic. Thank you.
