“The main purpose of this coordination is first and foremost to respond to the humanitarian emergency and we support the United Nations assistance mission in Afghanistan,” he added.
He urged immediate action since there is a “colossal humanitarian crisis”, which is already worsening ahead of winter.
On the economic situation in the country, he said there is going to be a payment system crisis in Afghanistan, as the payment system seems to be on the verge of halting.
“Together with that, there is going to be a banking system crisis and that’s as important as the present humanitarian crisis because if money doesn’t flow, if payments cannot be done, the economy will collapse and will make any sort of assistance incredibly more complicated,” Draghi added....
