US allows aid to victims in areas controlled by sanctioned terror groups

The US Treasury Department has issued a new general license. It allows humanitarian aid to reach people in parts of Afghanistan and Syria controlled by sanctioned terrorist organizations.

For years, aid groups faced legal risks when trying to help people in areas controlled by groups like the Taliban or ISIS. This meant that even basic food and medical supplies could not get through. This new license removes that specific legal barrier, making it easier for aid organizations to operate in these difficult regions without fear of US sanctions.
