The global effort to provide humanitarian aid to the people of Afghanistan is gathering pace as the Taliban prepare to form a government.
On Friday, a flight from the United Arab Emirates carrying foods, medicines and other supplies landed at Kabul airport, which remains largely out of action.
The Qatari government has sent engineers to assist with the full reopening of the facility.
Afghanistan's economy has descended into chaos following the Taliban's power grab last month. Supply chains are bottlenecked, prices are soaring, and many people are unable to withdraw cash.
One Afghan says people are starving. Another says bank employees have not returned to work.
Many Afghans are traveling to Chaman, a southwestern Pakistani town along the border, to seek support from relatives and aid organizations.
The Pakistani government says it will not accept Afghan refugees, but is allowing those who live near the border to stay temporarily.
Key words : deciding whether

Foreign ministers in the EU are deciding whether to cooperate with Afghanistan's new rulers. They have released a set of conditions that they expect the Taliban to meet.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell made the announcement following a meeting of the ministers in Slovenia on Friday.
Borrell said the EU has to engage with the new government in Afghanistan, but that does not mean recognizing it. He said it is an operational engagement that will increase depending on the behavior of the government.
The ministers said the Taliban must not allow Afghanistan to become a safe haven for terrorists.
They want free access for humanitarian aid deliveries and a guarantee of safe passage for foreign nationals and Afghan employees who want to leave.
They expect the Taliban to respect human rights -- in particular, women's rights -- as well as the rule of law and freedom of the media.
A Taliban spokesman had previously said that women may hold government positions but not any Cabinet roles. Women in the capital Kabul held a demonstration to protest the restrictions.
One demonstrator said Afghan women have worked hard, studied, and specialized in education for 20 years, but today they have been removed from the Cabinet. She added that they want their human rights.
Many women fear a return of the repression they faced under Taliban rule in the 1990s.

Japan's Prime Minister will not try to keep the helm of the main governing Liberal Democratic Party. Suga Yoshihide dropped out of its upcoming leadership election, meaning the country will have a new Prime Minister within weeks.
Suga said, "As I was planning to run, I found I needed a lot of energy to think about coronavirus measures and the election campaign. I decided that it's impossible to do both, and that I should devote myself to trying to stop the spread of the coronavirus, which is something that I promised the people of this country that I would do."
The announcement comes as political parties prepare for a general election, set to be held later this year. Some LDP lawmakers worry they'll have a tough fight as Suga's cabinet approval is tumbling.
Only one of seven factions within the LDP had pledged its united support for his bid to maintain leadership.
The LDP will choose a new president on September 29.
Former foreign minister Kishida Fumio, who lost against Suga last year, says he will run.
Kishida said, "I want to regain public trust for the LDP by demonstrating this is a party that listens to the people and presents a wide range of political options."
Two former internal affairs ministers, Takaichi Sanae and Noda Seiko, also say they want to enter the race.
Two others are still considering whether to run: Kono Taro, the minister in charge of Japan's coronavirus vaccination program, and Ishiba Shigeru, a former defense minister.
Official campaigning starts on September 17.

The Chinese government has ordered TV stations to stop featuring celebrities deemed to show a lack of commitment to the country and Communist Party.
Beijing's National Radio and Television Administration sent a notice to broadcasters on Thursday. It says the aim is to eliminate vulgar programs and cultivate a patriotic atmosphere.
The notice is the latest move in an intensifying crackdown on the entertainment industry.
Authorities have already ordered social media firms to stop posting celebrity popularity rankings.
Media personalities are apparently coming under increasing pressure. Authorities recently targeted a popular female actor for tax evasion.

US President Joe Biden has visited the southern state of Louisiana to survey damage from Hurricane Ida. He called for better infrastructure to withstand natural disasters as they worsen with climate change.
On Friday, Biden toured areas affected by the storm and received a briefing from the state governor and local officials.
The storm made landfall in Louisiana last Sunday and dumped record-breaking rain over a vast area that included the states of New York and New Jersey. At least 62 people died.
Biden said in an address that the US is likely to face superstorms "more frequently and more ferociously," and he vowed to press ahead with an infrastructure bill that he said would better prepare the country for such events.
He said the legislation would help to modernize drainage systems and power lines.
Biden instructed officials to accelerate their response to the damage left by the hurricane, which cut power to more than a million homes in Louisiana. Many people are yet to return to their homes.
