Afghanistan: The crisis of poverty and hunger in Afghanistan has reached dangerous levels. The situation is so bad that many families are forced to sell their children. According to the United Nations, about 4.7 million people in the country are on the verge of starvation. This is more than 10% of the total population of Afghanistan.

The situation is especially bad in Ghor province. Every morning, hundreds of people stand on the roadside looking for work. But, most of them do not get work. According to a BBC report, 45-year-old Juma Khan said that he has got work only for three days in the last one and a half month. He said that his children slept hungry for three consecutive nights. He had to borrow money from his neighbor to buy flour.

Laborer Rabani said that when he came to know that his children were hungry for two days, he felt that there was no point in living. Meanwhile, elderly Khawaja Ahmed tearfully said that due to his age no one gives him work and his family is dying of hunger. When stale bread is distributed in a nearby bakery, people rush to buy it. Dozens of people chase a man who has come to provide work to a labourer.

The situation is even worse in villages. Abdul Rashid Azimi said that he is ready to sell his 7-year-old twin daughters. He cried and said that he did not have enough food to feed them. His wife said that the family sometimes survives only on bread and hot water.

Drought, unemployment and inflation have made the situation worse.

Many families cannot afford treatment, so they have to take sick children home from the hospital.
