Conflict, COVID-19 and climate change have pushed millions of people in Afghanistan to the edge of starvation. Today, Canadian organizations of diverse backgrounds, faiths, and creeds have had enough. We have united in launching the ‘Aid for Afghanistan’ public campaign to remove these barriers, including the amendment of the Criminal Code, to allow humanitarian organizations to resume their programs. To date, the Government of Canada has not provided assurances to minimize Canadian humanitarian organizations’ risks, write Asuntha Charles and Reyhana Patel.
