The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a request to the Taliban to ease restrictions on Afghan female aid workers. The organization emphasizes the urgent need to ensure women’s access to essential healthcare following the devastating earthquake that claimed 2,200 lives. Dr. Mukta Sharma, the WHO’s deputy representative in Afghanistan, stated that a significant portion of medical personnel are currently absent due to the crisis. The request aims to facilitate aid delivery and support for vulnerable women in the affected region.
