Thank you very much, Madam Zahid. I appreciate your leadership in the community here. A lot of Afghan refugees and new immigrants are benefiting from your support and your hard work.
No doubt in Afghanistan right now we need a lot of help. Afghanistan is going through a very difficult time in history. People are starving. As we know, people are selling their kids and their organs for food.
We need a lot of help.
We want the government to be able to organize and help through the United Nations, because many local NGOs unfortunately, and unfortunately some of the neighbours, haven't been delivering the assistance properly. Our hope is that the United Nations will give them an active role in delivering that help.
There is no doubt that medical supplies are needed, but in this wintertime, food and other supplies are much needed. We are requesting that Canada and other countries help.
As far as channels go, I believe the United Nations would be the proper channel to help, aside from some other international NGOs.
Thank you.
