Kabul: Since the Taliban’s occupation, Afghanistan is facing an economic crisis these days. After starvation, the country is now facing the fear of cold. The United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has announced financial assistance to 10,000 poor families in Afghanistan to protect them from the cold. Most of the country’s population is in dire need of help to meet their daily needs. UNICEF itself has tweeted this information.
According to the report of Khama Press, the people of the country are suffering from hunger since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan.
