ISLAMABAD, December 13 (FENA) - Pakistan would be hosting the Extraordinary Session of OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in Islamabad on 19 December 2021 at the proposal of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, relating to the situation in Afghanistan.
This Extraordinary Session would be aimed at addressing the serious and deteriorating humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in BiH said.
As per the United Nations (UN), 60% of Afghanistan’s 38 million people are faced with “crisis levels of hunger” and the situation is further deteriorating with every passing day. The risk of acute malnutrition, especially amongst women and children is also increasing in addition to internal displacement.
As the collective voice of the Islamic Ummah, the OIC can and must play its part in helping address the urgent humanitarian and economic needs of the Afghan brethren. OIC’s leadership could also help galvanize other international actors to come forward and extend a helping hand to the Afghan people currently in dire need of international support and solidarity, the Pakistan Embassy in BiH said in a statement.
