lifeline. and novak joseph chase denied of red kenneth france. lamb as the russian, when a celebrates with the dead fish received. ah, thank you for joining us. of god. his son is at risk over humanitarian crisis. that's the warning from the un, which is seeking to raise $600000000.00 during a don't a conference on monday. it's happening less than a month after the taliban see control. un secretary general, antonio terry says he's concerned about the threat of a total collapse in basic services. half the afghan population is dependent on aid . the challenges of the aftermath of the war being compounded by an economic crisis, severe drought and covey. 19000000 people have been displaced. and on top of that, the u. s. for more than $9000000000.00 in assets after the tiny band took over and
2:02 pm
the world bank has also halted funding as bringing our diplomatic editor james base who joins us live from geneva, where that don't a conference will be held to view un saying, james, that it's a race against time to avert a crisis and i've got to stand tell us more about what they're hoping to achieve in geneva to day. yeah, they're look, they're looking for money for the next 4 months, but it's not really full months because the winter is coming very soon in afghanistan. that's why the u. n. c's this as a very urgent. that's why they're having this flash appeal, which is starting in just one hour from now. and one of the key players in that meeting will be the you ends emergency relief called a coordinator martin griffith to join me now kind of start martin beraskigy. how bad things very bad. indeed, they were already bad before recent events, the level of need enough kind of stuff. it's always been significant these many years. but for example, we were trying to reach to said that the population before these events took place . now the shock to the system that withdrawal
2:03 pm
a certain funding for paying of salaries and so forth. frontline health work has the continuing drought. and as you say the of the coming winter, the situation is very, very dire. indeed. hence this flash feel hosted by the secretary general. how worried are you about the collapse basic services? i know that you and i've heard you can't even pay your own staff at the moment because of the collapse of the banking system. yes, the bank serves the banks trip, which i was and i was and so for us paying on national stuff is very, very difficult. and that goes for all other agencies for families, for employers in afghanistan. so yes, it is very concerning. basic services, 40 percent of the g d. p of i kinda saw this is been sustained through aid that a da suddenly drawing up a part from humanitarian assistance. and that's covered a lot of salaries, the front line workers of nurses, of teachers, of doctors, and keeping these institutions going. these institutions need to be kept going. we
2:04 pm
need to do something with the money that was allocated to i've gone this time by the faster community in the past. we need to use it that people. now, you know that some countries that will be reluctant to get money because they'll be about the money going into tell about hands. what do you say to that? well, i've kind of still, it's not the only place where humanitarian agencies do direct delivery through our national partners. we have 156 partners agencies working in afghanistan, many most of them. in fact, africa, national engineers and local engineers and the assistance goes through them, it doesn't go through the ton about administration. and this is, this is true in many other countries and even syria and elsewhere. so we have a practiced arrangement, which we think is reliable. and we have the people in the country to deliver if the guns want to leave afghanistan, now it's very, very hard indeed, but some, i think, are guessing out. do you believe in the coming weeks,
2:05 pm
months years you're going to see a slow steady flow of refugees out of the country. but i think we will, if we fail to invest in afghanistan now, which is what the who might turn agencies want to do. so the best way to make outcomes in the region safe is to invest, are not gonna somehow make people safe and happy in their own communities. i met a lot of internally displaced people when i was in couples last week, 80 percent of the want to go home, where the fighting, it stops. they want to go home to resume their lives. that's what we need to promote and i protect you will. so the taliban leadership, when you went cobble and they gave you some guarantees about humanitarian access, do you trust them? well, we'll see they've written to me since that meeting. they written a letter to me. it confirming all those promises made including by the way, about women and girls and their freedom and their rights. and so what we will be
2:06 pm
doing now is carefully monitoring compliance with those commitments and those promises we've all been through this experience before. and the reason i went to have guys thought was precisely in order to be sure that that the taliban understand our needs and that we can work together to deliver to that people you say that they've made guarantees about women and girls, but another meeting taking place here at the un today in the human rights council, the commission of human rights said the african women have been progressively excluded from the public sphere in the last 3 weeks. i'm sure that's true, i'm sure that's true. the commitments that i was given which relate to girls as well as to the space for humanitarian agencies or commitments that we will hold them to and we will monitor and we will discuss with them. but festival, the practice around afghanistan is very, very varied. in terms of particularly this issue of not allowing women to go to
2:07 pm
have their rights. and we of course insist on that. and that's the, the, the main reason i went that we'll need to make sure that these rights are protected . we will need to make sure that women and girls have rights education, also something in the news today. and we need to make sure that people are going to get the help they need to survive. finally, you will meeting starts and just over now it's time. it's going to be opened by the un secretary general. so the meeting hasn't started yet, but you obviously been working the phone's and speaking to the big donor countries . do you think you're going to get the 606000000 dollars that you say you need it by the end of the year? i am sure we'll get a very good response today. we already know that we got a t over 80, people speaking, but virtually and here in person, half of those are min ministerial level. so i think we'd get some very good pledges before the end of the day. what's important is money now,
2:08 pm
because money now before winter sets in it for people to desire to be displaced outside that kind of invest enough comes on now while time and space permits. that's the message i think will be sending today. marketing, griffith undersecretary general emergency relief coordinator and the united nations . thank you for joining us here on our which is 0. i'm not meeting is getting underway in the next hour fully. we'll be covering that throughout the day and telling you about pledges that have been made by camp countries for what the u. n says is a very, very urgent appeal. jane, thank you very much for that jane space library in geneva. now many hospitals enough gonna find that rely on humanitarian aid are struggling to provide basic services. john stratford visited one in campbell, 16 months old cool soon has measles and pneumonia. doctor said she was too weak to be vaccinated against measles. because like many children in this cobble hospital,
