Solution

The sentence describes the challenges faced by the ruling Taliban regime in conducting operations after a disaster.

• The first blank needs a word to describe the kind of operations being carried out. Salvage operations are specifically aimed at rescuing or recovering property and lives after a disaster. This fits the context of a disaster where resources are needed.
• The second blank explains why the authorities have limited resources. The Taliban regime is under a variety of restrictions and punitive measures from the international community. Sanctions are penalties or restrictions imposed by a nation or group of nations. They often limit a country's access to financial and material resources, which would explain why the regime has "limited resources available."
