This photo taken on August 13, 2026 shows the Australia Director at Human Rights Watch, Daniela Gavshon, being interviewed by AFP in her office in Sydney. Five years since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, Gavshon said "When the Taliban first took over, the loss of foreign assistance really accelerated the financial collapse and humanitarian catastrophe in Afghanistan. But since then, the withdrawal of foreign assistance from the US and the UK has really deepened and worsened the crisis". (Photo by DAVID GRAY / AFP via Getty Images)
