Recently the International Red Cross put out this statement <\/a>in regards to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

\nJakob Kellenberger says the spread of violence to more parts of the country has forced the International Committee of the Red Cross to open five new offices in Afghanistan since 2009.<\/p>\n

The aid group expects Afghanistan to be the single biggest item in its 1.2 billion Swiss francs ($1.2 billion) budget for next year.<\/p>\n

Kellenberger says only “a political solution” can improve the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan ten years after the U.S.-led invasion to topple the Taliban. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now I would like to know what they are considering as a political solution considering the corruption that is present in the Afghanistan government. If it got the money how would it would handle attacks<\/a> to aid workers in Afghanistan. If you are not going to have a plan to protect your aid workers that finding funds to go over their is going to be the least of your worries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also when the Red Cross gave medical aid to those that are responsible<\/a> for attacking aid workers or having any indications of stopping it people get upset. <\/p>\n

The international Red Cross said Wednesday it would continue giving first aid training and kits to Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, despite drawing angry e-mails from around the world and criticism from an Afghan official after the practice was publicized.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So if you donate to the Red Cross there is a good chance your writing a check right over to the Taliban. So I can imagine that people might think twice about giving you money.<\/p>\n

The International Committee of the Red Cross is asking donors for an unprecedented 1.2 billion Swiss francs ($1.2 billion) to fund its humanitarian work next year.

The aid group justifies the 12 percent increase over last year’s appeal by saying that conflict situations are getting more complicated. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well keeping the fighters that are making the IEDs, suicide bombings and other attacks in the fight might have something to do with it? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
