The press release also detailed that the government will ship one million more vaccines to the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new humanitarian assistance by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will directly flow through independent humanitarian organizations and help provide lifesaving protection and shelter, essential health care, winterization assistance, emergency food aid, water, sanitation, and hygiene services in response to the growing humanitarian needs exacerbated by COVID-19 and healthcare shortages, drought, malnutrition, and the winter season,\u201d the press release said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In August, U.S. troops left Afghanistan in a disastrous withdrawal that saw the death of 13 soldiers in a terror attack at the Kabul airport. Last month, President Joe Biden defended his decision to evacuate Afghanistan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-says-u-s-casualties-during-afghanistan-withdrawal-disaster-were-inevitable\">claiming<\/a> there was no way to withdraw without casualties. \u201cEverybody says, \u2018you could\u2019ve gotten out without anybody being hurt,\u2019\u201d Biden said of Afghanistan to CBS News correspondent Rita Braver. \u201cNo one\u2019s come up with a way to indicate to me how that happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden has been so committed to his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan that he even said he would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-brags-hed-be-willing-to-lose-presidency-over-disastrous-afghanistan-withdrawal\">willing to lose his presidency<\/a> over it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the U.S. left Afghanistan, the Taliban took over the country, leading to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-left-afghanistan-taliban-took-over-now-more-families-selling-prepubescent-girls-to-keep-from-starving\">hunger<\/a> and all forms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/afghanistan-suicide-bombing-leaves-47-dead-70-wounded\">injustice<\/a> committed against Afghans. The Daily Wire reported in November:<\/p>\n<p>After President Biden pulled the last U.S. troops out of Afghanistan in August, many starving families have resorted to selling their pre-pubescent girls into marriages with older men in order to survive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThough marrying off children under 15 is illegal nationwide, it has been commonly practiced for years, especially in more rural parts of Afghanistan. And it has only spread since August, driven by widespread hunger and desperation,\u201d CNN reported.<\/p>\n<p>In October, nearly 50 people were killed and dozens injured in a suicide bombing at a mosque in the country. \u201cThe attack happened as a group of Muslims were praying Friday at a mosque in Kandahar province,\u201d The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/afghanistan-suicide-bombing-leaves-47-dead-70-wounded\">reported<\/a>. \u201cOriginal Taliban <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/10\/15\/asia\/mosque-blast-kandahar-intl\/index.html\">reports<\/a> said that the death toll was around 30, but the count has now been increased to nearly 50.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, the U.S. is attempting to clean up the mess left in Afghanistan through humanitarian aid and refugee resettlement, which results in other troubling problems, such as more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/more-than-1400-afghan-kids-evacuated-to-us-without-their-parents\">1,400 children<\/a> being taken to the U.S. without their parents, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/afghan-refugees-face-federal-charges-after-trying-to-rape-child-strangle-woman-in-wisconsin-report\">Afghan refugees<\/a> allegedly attempting to rape a child and strangle a woman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The solution to the humanitarian disaster in Afghanistan is most likely much more complex than shipping hundreds of millions of dollars and one million vaccines to the country, but for now, that\u2019s what the U.S. government will do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe United States is committed to supporting the Afghan people and we continue to consider all options available to us,\u201d the press release closed. \u201cWe stand with the people of Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
