He heard directly from the NGOs operating on the ground in Afghanistan about their experiences delivering aid and the challenges they face. The Deputy Secretary explained Treasuryʼs commitment to supporting the Afghan people, its close partnership with NGOs, and answered questions about steps Treasury is taking to facilitate access to humanitarian assistance and aid and Treasuryʼs authorizations on topics such as education, donations of medical supplies, and the role of private sector financial institutions. As the largest single provider of humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan, the U.S. is committed to ensuring that aid continues to flow to the Afghan people. While Treasury continues to uphold and enforce its economic sanctions on the Taliban, the department regularly engages with the NGO sector on its existing humanitarian authorizations and public guidance, as part of Treasuryʼs commitment to facilitating the flow of humanitarian assistance to areas a ected by U.S. sanctions. ### https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0547 1/1
