UN appeals for record $5 billion for humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan

Description

The United Nations is seeking more than $5 billion from international donors this year to tackle the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. It's the largest ever UN appeal for a single country, to avert what it has described as a "catastrophe". More than half of Afghanistan's population will need emergency assistance this year, with the UN estimating that 55% per cent of the population are suffering from acute hunger. FRANCE 24's Business Editor Stephen Carroll has the details.
