Original Note:
U.S. aid to Afghanistan goes through UN & NGOs for humanitarian purposes, not directly to the Taliban. Cash shipments occur for aid due to banking issues, potentially benefiting Taliban indirectly through taxes/services. Concerns exist about risks of aid diversion. https://unama.unmissions.org/cash-shipments-un-afghanistan-%E2%80%93-info-sheet https://www.csis.org/analysis/future-assistance-afghanistan-dilemma https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-live-house-oversight-hearing-on-biden-and-u-s-withdrawal-from-afghanistan https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/06/23/1180464339/charities-say-taliban-intimidation-diverts-aid-to-taliban-members-and-causes
