Afghans facing 'hell on earth' as winter looms

This is a country that https://ethicseducationforchildren.org/fr/discussions/keto-strong-reviews-1 is starting to feel the very real fear of hunger. The weather is turning from early autumn warmth to a sharp chill. Several areas https://rockjuriya116.tumblr.com/post/667354105076973568/keto-strong-reviews are reporting drought, which adds to the sense of growing catastrophe. At Maidan Wardak, 50 miles west of Kabul, a crowd of several hundred men had gathered in the hope of getting flour from an official distribution point. https://peatix.com/group/11613386/view The flour was provided by the World Food Programme.

Taliban soldiers kept https://app.splashthat.com/events/ketostrongreviewsusa/content/event-page/preview the crowd reasonably quiet, but people who were told they weren't eligible for a hand-out were angry and frightened. "The winter is nearly here," said one old man. "I don't know how I'll get through it if I can't make https://www.homify.in/ideabooks/8384012/keto-strong-reviews bread." The WFP is faced with having to raise its supplies to Afghanistan to help more than 22 million people.


If the weather is as https://sites.google.com/view/keto-strong--weight-loss/home bad as experts are predicting this winter, the expectation is that large numbers will be threatened with acute hunger and widespread famine. https://educatorpages.com/site/rockjuriya116/pages/our-classroom-website? I spoke to the executive director of the WFP, David Beasley, when he paid a visit to Kabul on Sunday. His analysis of the situation was alarming. "It is as bad as you possibly can imagine," said Mr Beasley. "In fact, we're now https://forum.arduino.cc/u/rockjuriya116/summary looking at the worst humanitarian crisis on Earth.


"Ninety-five percent https://www.pinterest.com/pin/953918764794743353/ of the people don't have enough food, and now we're looking at 23 million people marching towards starvation," he added. "The next six months are going https://ketostrongreviewsweightloss.wordpress.com/ to be catastrophic. It is going to be hell on Earth." Before the Taliban took power in Afghanistan in August, there was confidence that the government of President Ashraf Ghani would be able to cope with the threat of a bad winter, given the help of the https://ipressusaweightloss.cabanova.com/draft/ international community. That help evaporated when Mr Ghani's government collapsed.


Western countries http://rockjuriy.bravesites.com/ have cut off their aid to the country, since they don't want to be seen to help a regime which bars girls from education and is in favour of reintroducing the full range of sharia punishments. https://www.spreaker.com/show/keto-strong-reviews_14 But will those countries just stand by now and allow millions of innocent people to face acute hunger? Mr Beasley challenges the https://soundcloud.com/user-798302950 governments and the billionaires of the developed world to face up to the urgent need for help.


"To the world leaders, https://muckrack.com/rock-juriya/bio to the billionaires: imagine that this was your little girl or your little boy, or your grandchild about to starve to death," he said. "You would do everything you possibly could, and when there's $400 trillion worth of wealth on the earth today, shame on us." "We let any child die https://www.provenexpert.com/strong-reviews/ from hunger. Shame on us. I don't care where that child is," he adds.


In the city of Bamiyan in central Afghanistan, https://www.inkitt.com/blocked where in 2001 the Taliban destroyed the ancient and beautiful statues of the Buddha, carved into the cliffside in the 6th Century, we went https://www.kemovebbs.com/Thread-keto-strong-reviews--61663 to meet a widow, Fatema, and her seven children aged from three to 16. Her husband died of stomach cancer not long ago. They are wretchedly poor, https://www.wattpad.com/1152273812-keto-strong-reviews-untitled-part-1 and live in a cave close to the huge alcove in the cliff where one of the Buddhas used to stand.
