Afghanistan's humanitarian crisis - Afghanistan is more than green tea and Naan-bread.
- Recently we read in the newspapers about the weather being extremely cold in this country where the people don't even have winter clothes or proper heaters. There is also a rising food insecurity.
Sharing a CTW-news link I got from OFWI (President and founder Majed El Shafie). OFWI operates in the country.
"The Taliban takeover in August 2021 drove millions into poverty and hunger after foreign aid stopped almost overnight" says the report from CTW-news
CTW-news: "Afghan malnutrition rates at record high, UN food agency reports" (full text):
"At a nutrition clinic in Kabul, a nurse Anisa S. said most children and mothers will die without support from agencies like the WFP and World Health Organization. Their help is needed now more than ever, she told The Associated Press on Thursday."
- I also found the report from Human Rights Watch (full text):
HRW: World report 2023 (Events of 2022)

"Women and girls are disproportionately affected by the crisis and face greater obstacles to obtaining food, health care, and financial resources. Taliban policies barring women from most paid jobs made the situation worse, especially for households in which women were the sole or main wage earners."
