The Germany embassy in Kabul has coordinated the funding for “Task Force Winter Help” in places like the northern province of Takhar, where 1,100 households will have a chance to earn income through rebuilding streets – which will also improve access to local markets, the Foreign Ministry said.
The sum of Germany’s emergency aid this winter will reach €7.4 million, which includes donations to the United Nations refugee initiative, the UNHCR, and another €4.8 million to the Red Cross.
