UK provides extra £3m aid to Afghanistan, taking current fiscal-year support to £154m

The United Kingdom is providing an additional £3 million (AFN 257 million) in aid to Afghanistan, UK Special Representative for Afghanistan Richard Lindsay said in a post on X. “The UK is providing an additional £3 million (AFN 257 million) to deliver essential nutrition supplies and support people affected by natural disasters and other shocks,” Lindsay wrote.
He said the assistance will be directed to the most vulnerable populations. With this contribution, total UK aid to Afghanistan in the current fiscal year has reached £154 million (AFN 13.18 billion), aimed at assisting those most in need, he added. The announcement follows Lindsay’s earlier statement in a meeting with Mawlawi Abdul Kabir that the UK’s support for the Afghan people would continue.
