MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 24th August, 2021) The World Health Organization (WHO)'s health supplies in Afghanistan are only enough to last for one week, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean Ahmed Al-Mandhari said on Tuesday.
"WHO now only has enough supplies in the country to last for one week. Yesterday, 70% of these supplies were released to health facilities," Al-Mandhari told a press briefing.
The official added that the WHO had 500 metric tonnes of supplies earmarked for Afghanistan currently sitting in a warehouse in Dubai, but said that the current situation at Kabul airport was making transporting these vital goods impossible at this stage.
