KABUL - The government of President Ashraf Ghani on Wednesday welcomed the European Union’s call for a ceasefire on humanitarian grounds.
Senior Presidential Advisor on Public and Strategic Affairs Waheed Omer said: “Taliban should know that we are dealing with a humanitarian situation caused by the coronavirus.
He tweeted the militants needed to stop their attacks and allow health workers to reach the vulnerable people in all parts of the country.
There were reports of Taliban impeding the delivery of health services in some areas of Afghanistan and that should be stopped immediately, he added.
Earlier, EU's special envoy Roland Kobia tweeted: "To be better helped, first measures should be: a full ceasefire and a halt to taxing humanitarian aid.” (Pajhwok)
