How Taliban Has Pushed Afghani Children Into Despair And Malnutrition

 Change of guard has not brought good news for Afghanistan....

In happy days, when kids weren't suffering from malnutrition 

Afghanistan has no aid to support its hospitals. Its accounts have been frozen, creating another huge humanitarian catastrophe; the first one of the century being witnessed in Yemen.

What this has resulted in is dried out hospital facilities and rising malnutrition amongst children.

Food and supplies are scarce in Afghanistan and the way Taliban is moving around trying to assert its mad power, it isn’t too bothered about the welfare of its people either.

 It is now common knowledge that since the Taliban’s military took over in August, Afghanistan has been thrown into a deep economic and humanitarian crisis as almost $10 billion in bank funds – most of them private assets – remain frozen and the majority of aid has been put on hold.

 As the military style governance now handles their own internal power fights, it is oblivious to the more than 2000 health facilities that are now in the process of closing down or have already shut their doors as money has dried up, according to the Red Cross, leaving millions of people without access to doctors and – struck by poverty – unable to travel long distances to seek health care.

Again, the worst hit are children and women. Aid groups now warn that more than seven million children are at risk of hunger throughout the country. Official UNICEF estimates also state that more than 11 million people could bee seen suffering from malnutrition, while the worst effective will be children below 5 years of age.

No one is interested in recognizing the self-proclaimed ‘Islamic Emirates’ government. This isn’t good news for anyone either, because Talibans are hell serious about getting their legitimacy sacrosanct on stone, if that is what it takes to get it done.
