#aid to afghanistan

As of December 2023:

So yesterday I told you about http://aseelapp.com where you can go to donate aid for Afghan people who are hungry or need heat for winter, or buy directly from Afghan artisans.

My main platform has been twitter for years but, well, you know. Anyway my routine is that on weekends I boost a campaign to my followers so here's a link to help people in Herat Province:

Herat is the large province highlighted in red. The population is about 3 million, and around 80% of those people live in rural areas raising saffron or sheep, weaving carpets, or quarrying marble. Only about a quarter of households have access to clean water.

Also while I have you here, let me wreck your budget. It takes about a month for things to get from Afghanistan to me here in North Carolina so if you want to order for Christmas your deadline is RIGHT NOW. Let me make some suggestions!

Afghanistan has enormous amounts of lapis lazuli deposits and you can find a lot of gorgeous things made from it ranging from jewelry to candlesticks. The Dari word for lapis is lajaward (لاجورد) which probably derives from the place in Badakhshan, Afghanistan, where it has historically been mined.

Nematullah and Brotheran has your gorgeous lapis bowls, picture frames, etc

Mr Haneif at Nuristan Fashion has wool waistcoats, long coats, and patu!! A patu is a large 100% wool shawl worn by Afghan men. Buying one was the best decision I ever made as there's nothing better than wrapping up in a big length of wool.

Do you drink tea? Let me introduce you to Mr Wakil at the Istalefi Pottery Shop! Among other things he makes absolutely amazing teapots. I have a few things from him and another on the way. Here is the small bowl I eat my snacks from!

For merchants, Aseel is a platform like Etsy. You are buying from an Afghan artisan and helping them keep their family fed and clothed and warm. I recommend using the "Shop by Brand" option as it will show you only Afghan shops.

I volunteer my time with the Aseel team doing... Basically this. I'm also constantly trying to convince them to tell sellers to raise prices because they're criminally low but no dice so far.

due to the war going on here, this pieces of news was buried, so I'm using the current track in in my blog to gain some attention!

Yesterday (Sunday 8/10/2023) there has been an earthquake in Afghanistan, located 40 km north of Herat and devastated at least 12 villages. Taliban reports more that 2400 dead and injured (numbers are hazy as they tend to be in the first week), and I've seen reports that they are still digging people out in their bare hands. It was a 6.3 quake and will lead to an even bigger humanitarian crisis (the Turkey-Syria quake was 7.7).

I do not know of any organizations of bodies you can donate to that ensure the money and assistance will get to the people in Afghanistan and not other people, so if you know of any, feel free to add them here and I'll give as much boost as I can.

"Many of the unofficial underground schools in Afghanistan operate with limited resources — of both supplies and educators. They get support from women's rights and education activists outside the country, who send monthly funding for textbooks and teachers' wages."

With the current escalation in Israel/Gaza, a lot of other tragedies in the greater region have gotten overshadowed (arguably Ankara and Damascus have been deliberately using this as a smokescreen). So, I have wanted to highlight not only what's going on but more importantly possible ways to help or be informed.

Note, these are just a starting point, and I always encourage you to use your judgement in vetting charities (as charity scams are some of the most insidious) and finding one that fits your goals the best.

The big one right now is the earthquake in the north of Afghanistan. As of now (October 10, 2023) there have still been aftershocks around Herat, and the overall death toll is over 2400, with over same amount injured and many more displaced. Donating here is a tough one as nations not only cut off aid but the Taliban itself limits foreign aid workers, as well as women workers. Some organizations (compiled by Time) participating in recovery efforts are International Committee of the Red Cross (which works with the Afghan Red Crescent), UNICEF, Islamic Relief Worldwide, International Rescue Committee, Doctors Without Borders, and CARE International.

On October 7, Assad kicked off more bombing on the besieged city of Idlib. In this case, the biggest issue is displacement, for which I'd recommend refugee organizations such as the IRC.

Also in that weekend, Erdogan bombarded the predominantly-Kurdish north of Syria. The main organization that functions as a bridge between the US and that region is the Emergency Committee for Rojava.

Again, this is not meant to be exhaustive, nor may some orgs jive with what you're looking for. But the point is to show that there are ways to get involved around the world.

Sayed Kazim Rafiqi, 42, a Herat city resident, said he had never seen such devastation before with the majority of houses damaged and “people terrified.” Rafiqi and others headed to the hospital to donate much-needed blood. “We have to help in any way possible,” he said. The earthquakes on Oct. 7 flattened whole villages in Herat, in one of the most destructive quakes in the country’s recent history. More than 90% of the people killed a week ago were women and children, U.N. officials reported Thursday. Taliban officials said the earlier quakes killed more than 2,000 people across the province. The epicenter was in Zenda Jan district, where the majority of casualties and damage occurred. The initial quake, numerous aftershocks and a second 6.3-magnitude quake on Wednesday flattened villages, destroying hundreds of mud-brick homes that could not withstand such force. Schools, health clinics and other village facilities also collapsed. Besides rubble and funerals after that devastation, there was little left of the villages in the region’s dusty hills. Survivors are struggling to come to terms with the loss of multiple family members and in many places, living residents are outnumbered by volunteers who came to search the debris and dig mass graves.

You can donate to the United Nations Refugee Agency to help with this and all the other folks currently facing displacement worldwide.

You can also call you representative about having your government fund the UN Refugee Agency

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — More than half a million people in Gaza — a quarter of the population — are starving, according to a report Thursday by the U.N. and other agencies that highlights the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s bombardment and siege on the territory in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The extent of the population’s hunger eclipsed even the near-famines in Afghanistan and Yemen of recent years, according to figures in the report. The report warned that the risk of famine is “increasing each day,” blaming the hunger on insufficient aid entering Gaza. “It doesn’t get any worse,’’ said Arif Husain, chief economist for the U.N.’s World Food Program. “I have never seen something at the scale that is happening in Gaza. And at this speed.” ... At the start of the war, Israel stopped all deliveries of food, water, medicine and fuel into the territory. After U.S. pressure, it allowed a trickle of aid in through Egypt. But U.N. agencies say only 10% of Gaza’s food needs has been entering for weeks. (Dec. 21, 2023 | Source)

DON'T LOOK AWAY.

A recent Inspector General report has confirmed that a significant portion of the $2.6 billion of humanitarian aid, 

sent by the United States to Afghanistan since August 2021 has fallen into the hands of the Taliban terrorist organization. This revelation raises serious concerns about the effectiveness and oversight of the aid distribution process. It is disheartening to think that American tax dollars, which were intended to help the Afghan people in their time of need, have ended up supporting a group known for its brutality and oppression.

This report highlights the urgent need for better accountability and transparency in how aid is distributed in conflict zones. The United States must ensure that stringent measures are in place to prevent funds from falling into the wrong hands. It is crucial that we have a thorough understanding of the aid distribution networks and work closely with local partners who can help verify that the assistance reaches those who truly need it.

Moreover, this incident underscores the complex challenges involved in providing humanitarian aid in conflict-ridden regions. While it is essential to provide assistance to those affected by conflict, it is equally important to ensure that our efforts do not inadvertently support terrorist organizations or perpetuate violence. This requires a delicate balance between delivering aid and maintaining security.

Moving forward, it is imperative that the United States evaluates its aid distribution strategies and implements robust monitoring mechanisms to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. We owe it to the American taxpayers and to the Afghan people to ensure that their generosity is not exploited by those who seek to do harm. By addressing these issues head-on, we can work towards a more accountable and effective humanitarian aid system that truly makes a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
