Kabul: The United Nations has appealed for USD 405 million to cover the humanitarian needs of the people in Afghanistan in 2015.

UN humanitarian coordinator Mark Bowden launched the appeal today. He says that almost 8,000 civilians have been killed or injured in the war with Taliban-led insurgents this year, and more than 100,000 have been forced from their homes.

As the conflict expands in the coming year, more help will be needed, he says. Around 1.2 million children in Afghanistan are acutely malnourished, half a million of them younger than five years old. (IANS)
