According to the India Today, the Afghanistan government has set up a shelter for more than 11,000 families in Kandahar city. The shelter is built to house people, who have escaped from battle-torn areas of Kandhar province in the last 15 days.

After the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, the Taliban has opened a maximum battle front against Afghan security forces and claimed that it has captured nearly 70 percent of Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, families are fleeing war-torn areas in Kandhar province and taking shelter in refugee camps set up by the Afghan government.

The media outlet said a member of Parliament from Kandhar, Syed Ahmad Sailab, told India Today TV that after Eid celebrations, Taliban has intensified attacks on Afghan forces in the entire Kandhar province and the people who have fled for safety are on the verge of starvation.

They are, however, being provided food and medical care at one of the migrant camps near Kandhar.

He said: "We have decided to provide breakfasts and meals two times for all the families who had to leave their villages to reach Kandahar,"

Syed Ahmad Sailab said nearly 11,000 families are currently being provided government aid in Kandahar.

Bibi Nadia, a member of a displaced family, said to India Today TV that they were hungry for three days and could not arrange any food due to war between Taliban and Afghan army.

They also spoke about how they escaped from villages after Taliban fighters occupied their homes.

After the withdrawal of US troops, more than 10,000 Taliban fighters entered Afghanistan from Balochistan and Sindh provinces of Pakistan and attacked the Afghan forces and security check posts. They also managed to take over most of them in the Kandahar province.

Upon arriving to participate in the summit of the European Political Community, which includes around forty heads of state in Budapest, he said, "I look forward to sitting with the elected U.S. president and seeing how we will collectively ensure we meet challenges, including the threats from Russia and North Korea." He also noted that the strengthening of ties between Russia and North Korea poses a threat to the United States as well, according to reports from Agence France-Presse.

Before Trump's victory, Rutte expressed confidence that a united Washington would remain part of the defensive alliance, even if Trump became the 47th president of the United States. In an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF last Monday night, he stated that both Republicans and Democrats understand that NATO serves not only the security of Europe but also that of America. He added that both candidates are aware that the security of the United States is closely tied to NATO.

On Wednesday, NATO congratulated Trump on his victory but did not address the Ukrainian issue.

It is noteworthy that the relationship between the elected U.S. president and the defense alliance was not the best during his first term in the White House. Trump criticized NATO member states multiple times and even hinted at withdrawing from the alliance unless they increased their financial contributions.

Additionally, the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war is one of the matters that complicate relations between the two sides, especially since Trump has repeatedly stated that he can end this ongoing conflict, which began in 2022, quickly. He implied that he had a peace plan between Kyiv and Moscow, while his vice president, JD Vance, revealed aspects of that plan, which stipulated Ukraine's commitment not to join NATO, thereby sending reassuring signals to the Russians.

Furthermore, many NATO member states in Europe fear that Trump might halt military aid to Ukraine after he previously criticized the U.S. for pouring funds into supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
