Oyogist has learned that several Donors have pledged over $1bn to help Afghanistan avert an impending poverty and hunger crisis, following the Taliban invasion.
The UN had hinted on a mass humanitarian crisis in the region.
Afghanistan, which has already suffered through four decades of wars and instability, is facing a humanitarian crisis of enormous proportions, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said during a conference on Afghanistan.
Guterres said the UN could not yet determine how much money had been pledged in response to its direct appeal for $606m and how much was promised to support other efforts or neighbouring countries.
