U.S : Demand refuge for AFGHANS.

 

 

 

Friend, Sign the petition: Provide humanitarian aid and ensure safe, accessible refuge for Afghans.     SIGN THE PETITION                     This weekend the Taliban entered Kabul and quickly took control of the presidential palace. The rapid collapse is further proof that the original invasion and subsequent 20 years of occupation was a mistake. In the wake of this forced takeover, the Afghan people face a humanitarian catastrophe, with women and children at greater risk for violence and forced displacement. We need you to tell the Biden administration to ensure humanitarian aid will be delivered to Afghans and to remove the refugee cap for Afghan refugees accepted into the United States.   The situation unfolding in Afghanistan is dire. Since May nearly 250,000 people (80% of which are women and children) have been forced from their homes. Afghanistan also faces a shortage of food, medicine and other resources, as businesses have stopped operation in response to the takeover. Prior to the U.S. withdrawal, Afghanistan had the second-highest number of people facing emergency food insecurity, and 50% of the population faced humanitarian need. With only 2% of the population vaccinated, the delta variant is only exasperating an already dire humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.   The Biden administration must take an immediate, all hands on deck approach to addressing the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.       Sign the petition: Provide humanitarian aid and ensure safe, accessible refuge for Afghans.            SIGN THE PETITION       In solidarity,            Jayleen Alvarado, Daily Kos.
