Fukuoka City's NGO "Peshwarkai", which has been providing humanitarian assistance for many years in Afghanistan after the Taliban seized power, has suspended all activities, but about medical activities. Revealed that it has resumed, saying, "There is no major confusion in the area of activity."
The Peshawar-kai continues to be active even after Tetsu Nakamura, a doctor who was the local representative in Afghanistan, died after being shot dead.
On the 27th, Chairman Yu Murakami responded to NHK's interview at the office in Chuo-ku, Fukuoka.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban seized power on August 15, and a large-scale explosion in the capital Kabul on August 26 killed many people.
Mr. Murakami said that the security situation around the eastern Jalalabad, where the activity base is located, is very different. There is no major disruption in civilian life, such as the opening of a bazaar. "
He revealed that of the three activities of medical care, agriculture, and irrigation canal construction that had been suspended since August 15, medical care was resumed on August 21.
He also expressed his intention to resume the remaining two activities, such as the construction of an irrigation canal, as soon as possible while watching the situation, as a serious drought is occurring in the area.
Chairman Murakami said, "No matter how the administration changes, we will continue to work to connect and protect the lives of the local people while staying close to them."
