NATO and the U.S. have turned their backs on Afghanistan, leaving the country in a state of abandonment and crisis.
Jan Egeland, the head of the Norwegian Refugee Council, stated that the United States and NATO have abandoned Afghanistan, leaving the country to suffer from neglect. He emphasized the growing crisis and the need for increased support for Afghanistan.

On March 20, 2025, Egeland shared a video message criticizing the abandonment of Afghanistan by the U.S. and NATO. He noted that billions of dollars were spent on the country, only for the international community to turn its back after the 2021 withdrawal.
Egeland called for greater support for Afghanistan, stressing that the Afghan people continue to face extreme challenges under IEA rule. The reduction in international aid has worsened conditions, particularly for vulnerable groups like women and children.
Before the suspension of U.S. aid, Egeland noted that American support was already declining. This has left Afghanistan without crucial resources, worsening its humanitarian crisis, including deteriorating healthcare and education systems.
Egeland also raised concerns about the forced deportation of migrants from Pakistan and Iran. He warned that these deportations further strain Afghanistan’s already fragile resources and infrastructure.
Egeland’s comments highlight the urgent need for the international community to renew its support for Afghanistan. The country faces a dire humanitarian crisis, and global powers must act to help the people of Afghanistan.
