Increase financial aid to Afghanistan

Closed 39 signatures

What the petition asks

We have a moral obligation to provide financial support and other support to the Afghan people who we believe have been negatively affected by the withdrawal of British and American troops.
We have one of the strongest economies in the world and although we have to finance welfare projects in our own country, people in Afghanistan are selling their organs and even worse, children to feed their families. We as a rich nation surely have to help and provide support to these people who are suffering more than we could ever imagine. We also have to act and convince other countries around the world to do the same.
