Filippo Grandi, UNHCR’s Chief told the reporters at the Kabul airport that Afghanistan would be on the priority of the UNHCR despite the crisis in Ukraine.
“But I came here also to say that there is not just the Ukraine, there are other crises in the world, other situations, that need attention, and Afghanistan is a priority for us,” he said.
Grandi told the reporters that UNHCR has been providing support to the Afghans for the past four decades—an era of time in which Afghanistan has seen severe waves of violence.
