People with disabilities complained about not having access to monthly support payments and humanitarian aid and said that they are facing a bad economic situation.

Abdul Hadi, 62, said that during the former Soviet Union's time in the country, his leg was injured due to the war, and he is unable to provide food for his nine-member family.

“It has been two years since I received my salary,” said Abdul Hadi.

"They have to pay disabled people salaries because disabled people are needed people,” said Asadullah Khalid, a disabled person.

According to the Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled statistics, in the last six months more than 100,000 disabled people have been provided with assistance. 

“We helped nearly four hundred orphans, disabled people, and widows in six months of the current year and gave them their monthly salaries,” said Faisal Khamosh, spokesman of the ministry.

The World Food Program has announced in a report the start of a plan to provide services to the disabled in the country.

“The disability service mapping report can help humanitarian actors, service providers, OPDs, and other stakeholders to refer persons with disabilities to the right services in a specific province. Furthermore, this document can also help in preventing duplication of services in different provinces of Afghanistan,” said the WFP.

Based on the statistics of the Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled, 180,449 disabled people have been registered from all over the country, and the registration process is still ongoing.
