Foreign aid to Afghanistan has been significant even since the Muslim fanatics Taliban took charge of the country in August 2021. A lot of the aid becomes phantom aid in Afghanistan since it remains in the hands of its fanatical leaders.
American aid to Afghanistan
The U.S. government has continued to provide humanitarian aid to Afghanistan despite the political changes. As of early 2025, the U.S. has been one of the largest donors, with approximately $2.1 billion in humanitarian funding since August 2021, including more than $1.5 billion from USAID.
In December 2021, the U.S. Treasury Department issued special licenses to allow the delivery of aid from various US government agencies, international organizations such as the various arms of the United Nations, and NGOs to Afghanistan.
Even with the Taliban running Afghanistan, the United States State Department claimed to be providing "nearly $327 million in additional humanitarian assistance to help the people of Afghanistan" according to Anthony Blinken's press statement in September 2022.
United Nations agencies
World Food Program gave the largest UN aid to Afghanistan which amounted to $280,000,000 in fiscal year 2024. Other UN agencies gave lesser amounts.
