U.N. chief says more than $1 bln in aid pledges made for Afghanistan

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said more than $1 billion in aid pledges for Afghanistan had so far been made during an event in Geneva on Monday, but it was "impossible" to know how much was specifically for a U.N. emergency appeal.

The United Nations is seeking $606 million to help millions of people in Afghanistan until the end of the year.
