UN won't halt aid to Afghanistan despite ban on women working in the country's aid sector

'Aid is never conditional,' the UN Resident Coordinator in Afghanistan told reporters.

THE UNITED NATIONS has said it would not stop providing help to Afghanistan despite the Taliban ban on women working in the country’s aid sector.

Speaking after the G7 issued a statement calling the hardline Islamists’ action “reckless and dangerous,” Alakbarov said Afghanistan’s humanitarian needs are “absolutely enormous.” “I believe from my interaction with the Taliban, the best way of coming to the solution is not a pressure.

“Obviously delivery of health services to women and girls will not be possible without medical personnel,” he said.
