The Main Problem In Afghanistan Is Not Hunger, But The Payment Of Salaries, The Red Cross Said

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that Afghanistan is facing a growing humanitarian crisis, with no system for paying doctors, nurses and other staff and transferring salaries to bank accounts.

International media reported the ICRC President Peter Murray's comments support the position of UN Special Representative for Afghanistan.

He warned this week that Afghanistan was on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe and that its collapsing economy was increasing the risk of extremism.
