The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) has emphasized that proper waste management in Afghanistan, particularly in informal settlements, is a critical issue.
On Thursday, December 18, the program warned that neglecting waste management could adversely affect public health.
UN-Habitat added that this challenge is especially pronounced in informal urban settlements.
The agency stressed the importance of efforts to ensure healthy cities and communities.
Residents in Kabul, both in formal and informal settlements, are reported to frequently dispose of waste along the roadsides.
