CONCORD, NH — Another New Hampshire Senator is raising concerns about the collapse in Afghanistan and calling for the Biden administration to take decisive action. U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) in a statement called for partners in the country to be evacuated to safety. "The same should be done for Afghans who assisted the U.S. mission through non-governmental organizations and aid agencies, and other vulnerable populations such as journalists, human rights defenders and women leaders," she said. "And there must be an immediate expansion of the refugee program for Afghan women seeking asylum, whose lives are in jeopardy as the Taliban resumes control and turns back the clock on 20 years of progress for women's rights. A failure to act now will seal their fate, and the generation of girls who grew up with freedoms, education and dreams of building their country's future will die with them." Shaheen said she has "long expressed deep concerns" about withdrawal plans and has "repeatedly fought" to make sure that the inclusion of women in negotiations was a foreign policy priority. Fentanyl Still Primary OD Drug In NH The state's medical examiner's office released the latest drug death data for 2021 and it shows that fentanyl continues to be the primary drug for overdoses in New Hampshire.

The state has 118 cases pending toxicology reports.
