'Frozen assets belonging to the Afghan people should be released and used to restore the country's economy,' said Rep. Pramila Jayapal.

, the U.S. president took"a path that raises grave concerns about the possible impact on the ability of the Afghan people to function and get the food they need to prevent starvation," said Jayapal.

Jayapal added that Biden's order"is not the way" to provide 9/11 families with needed compensation, and she also elevated concerns about ongoing economic sanctions. To best alleviate"the suffering of the Afghan people," she said Biden must not only not reverse course on the new order but should also unfreeze the funds and collaborate with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund so that"much-needed aid" can enter the country.

“Right now, every day Afghans are being punished by international policies that are leaving millions on the brink of starvation."
