News - World: Pressure is mounting on the Joe Biden administration to unfreeze Afghanistan’s assets and to remove hurdles in the delivery of aid to millions of people teetering at the brink of starvation and death.

Joining the chorus now is veteran Democratic senator, Bernie Sanders, who has called on the Biden administration to "immediately release" billions of dollars of Afghanistan's foreign reserves to avert the unfolding "crisis" in the crisis-stricken south Asian nation.

“Afghanistan is facing a humanitarian catastrophe,” the senator from Vermont said in a tweet on Tuesday. “I urge the Biden administration to immediately release billions in frozen Afghan government funds to help avert this crisis, and prevent the death of millions of people.”
