Biden wants relatives of 9/11 victims to have the rights to half of the Afghan central bank's funds. The other $3.5 million would aid Afghans.

Only five hospitals in Afghanistan still offer COVID-19 treatment, with 33 others having been forced to close in recent months for lack of doctors, medicines and even heat. This comes as the nation is being hit by a steep rise in the number of reported coronavirus cases.

The Biden administration wants to enable relatives of certain victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks who sued the Taliban to pursue $3.5 billion of the assets. The other $3.5 billion would be used for further humanitarian aid for Afghans as their country faces a collapsing economy, widespread famine and the return of the Taliban's brutal rule after 20 years of U.S. occupation.
