UN says basic services in Afghanistan are collapsing, food and other aid about to run out

The basic services in Afghanistan are collapsing and food and other aid is about to run out, the United Nations said.

Afghanistan is facing the collapse of basic services and food and other aid is about to run out, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Tuesday. OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke told a UN briefing in Geneva that millions of Afghans were in need of food aid and health assistance, urging donors to give more ahead of an international aid conference for Afghanistan on Sept. 13.
