AFGHANS FACE STARVATION
MILLIONS of Afghans, including children, could die of starvation unless urgent action is taken to pull Afghanistan back from the brink of collapse, the UN warned, calling for frozen funds to be freed for humanitarian efforts. The UN said that 22.8 million people – more than half of Afghanistan’s 39 million population – were “marching to starvation” compared to 14 million two months ago. In August, Taliban fighters drove out a Westernbacked government, prompting donors to hold back aid. |
