On a visit to Islamabad I thanked the @GovtofPakistan for supporting humanitarian operations in Afghanistan and hosting Afghan refugees for four decades. Pakistan’s humanitarian commitment is crucial at this difficult juncture in Afghanistan. @PresOfPakistan @ShkhRasheed

This afternoon I inaugurated a carpet processing centre near Mazar-e-Sharif in northern Afghanistan, and assured the local community — including many displaced people and returnees — that UNHCR will continue to provide support at a time of serious humanitarian needs. https://t.co/8V0uaa3FhJ

Relief convoys continue to arrive in Afghanistan and aid is being distributed. In my meetings in Kabul I asked the Taliban to ensure the security of humanitarian operations. Millions of lives are at stake. https://t.co/mnPPuWb6Sq

The world faces difficult dilemmas in Afghanistan. Huge humanitarian needs must be met quickly, but it is equally urgent to engage to ensure peace, stability and rights for all Afghans. Read my ⁦@AP⁩ interview with ⁦@Kathygannon⁩ in Kabul. https://t.co/KULgLdP9uu

This morning I have landed in Kabul. During my visit I will assess the country’s acute humanitarian needs and the situation of 3.5 million displaced Afghans. I am grateful to all UN, NGO and other humanitarian workers who are working hard on the ground to meet those needs. https://t.co/8i8FDuVHoa

Together with @DrSavasUnlu I visited a well organized centre run by Turkey’s migration management directorate in Gaziantep. I also thanked Governor @gul_davut and Mayor @FatmaSahin for the city’s standards of refugee hospitality and pledged to help mobilise more donor support. https://t.co/txGk2yatUy
