The Humanitarian Crisis In Afghanistan Is Getting Worse
Newsy
Desperate families with malnourished children and COVID-19 cases are pouring into hospitals around the country but the hospitals are not equipped.
As winter rolls into Afghanistan, the country is suffering four months after U.S.-led forces pulled out and the capital city of Kabul fell.
Kristiana Marton with Save the Children in Kabul tells Newsy that desperate families with malnourished children and COVID-19 cases are pouring into hospitals around the country. Hospitals are not equipped to meet the dire needs of their patients.
"Nearly 24 million people are facing severe hunger levels right now, including approximately 13 million children," she said. "One of the issues with hospitals at the moment is the staff aren't being paid. They don't have the resources that they need."
