KABUL (SW) – The Makroriyan Maintenance and Monitoring Company has said that due to the economic problems of the people in the current year, it cannot keep the heating system active.
Ghulam Omar Abdullah, the head of this company, has said that due to the increase in the price of petroleum products this year and the request of Makroriyan residents, the heating system has been deactivated.
This is despite the fact that the United Nations said two days ago that in the coming winter, millions of Afghan citizens will have to choose between food and heating their homes.
On the other hand, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (OCHA) said that 79 percent of Afghan citizens do not have access to adequate heating facilities.
