Denmark has contributed $5.49 million to the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund, a United Nations-managed emergency fund supporting aid operations across the country.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, OCHA, announced the contribution on X and thanked Denmark for what it described as a “generous contribution” to humanitarian efforts in Afghanistan.
“Your support is helping vulnerable communities recover from shocks and access critical humanitarian assistance across Afghanistan,” OCHA said in its statement.
The agency said the funding would support humanitarian programs aimed at assisting vulnerable communities affected by economic hardship, displacement and limited access to basic services.
Denmark also contributed approximately $6.9 million to the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund last year, according to UN figures.
The latest donation comes as UN agencies continue to warn about worsening humanitarian conditions in Afghanistan nearly four years after the Taliban returned to power.
In a recent report, the UN Development Program said nearly three-quarters of Afghanistan’s population remained unable to meet basic living needs amid mounting economic pressures, large-scale migrant returns and severe drought conditions.
According to the report, 74 percent of Afghans were living in what the agency described as “livelihood insecurity” in 2025 — a condition marked by serious deprivation in food, health care, housing, water access and income sources.
The findings were published in the UNDP’s “Afghanistan Socio-Economic Outlook 2024-2025,” which said the country’s fragile economy remained too weak to absorb the rapid population growth caused in part by the return of millions of migrants from Iran and Pakistan.
Despite modest signs of economic activity in some sectors, aid agencies say Afghanistan remains heavily dependent on international humanitarian assistance, with millions of people requiring food aid, health services and emergency support.
