COVID-19 Infections Rise 684% in Afghanistan

VOA News

   COVID-19 infections in Afghanistan rose by 684% in May, the
   International Rescue Committee said in a statement Monday.

   "The country's extremely low testing capacity means many more are going
   untested and undetected," according to the Committee.

   Millions of Afghans were already facing food insecurity after decades
   of conflict and now the economic strain of the COVID pandemic "leaves
   Afghanistan on the brink of a humanitarian disaster," IRC said.
