Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, said in his last statement yesterday that the number of people in need of humanitarian aid around the world has reached 360 million, and the world must act quickly to help them.
These talks were raised on Wednesday at the meeting of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, and the international community was asked to provide for these needy people as soon as possible.
Mr. Guterres said that among all these needy people, 28.3 million are the people of Afghanistan. He said that if the needy are not given financial and economic support, the world will witness a human disaster.
