.JaneFerguson5 reports from Afghanistan, where more than 20 million people are on the brink of famine. “Afghanistan must be helped now,” an Italian doctor in the country said. “Something has to be done.”

, has slowed to a crawl. At the current rate at which U.S officials are vetting and evacuating applicants, it will take months, perhaps years, for all those who are eligible for resettlement to be flown out.

Khalid Payenda, who served as Afghanistan’s acting finance minister before the Taliban takeover, admitted that corruption in the Afghan government had helped foster the current economic crisis. “There was also a complacency,” he said from Washington, D.C., where he currently resides with his family. “Even until the end, people thought, The U.S. is not going to abandon Afghanistan, so, you know, we will not fix it now—we will fix it the next year, or maybe the year after.

Mohammed Safi, a man in a pale Western suit who said he worked in the finance ministry during the country’s U.S.-backed government, noted that aid groups like the United Nations Children’s Fund already have systems in place to disburse funds directly to the most disadvantaged Afghan families. He argued that this was not the time for the international community to wait for the Taliban to embrace good governance. “The challenge is increasing day by day,” he said.

no...😢🥺💔

We need to send humanitarian aid... not troops.

Blame Trump

Sounds like a taliban problem

Maybe see the Africans

See the Jews

silke_bhatia No Problem … inshallah

What about poverty in US? Let's fix home first.

20 million is also the increase in Afghanistan's human population during the occupation, during which the country's population doubled. This is what human overpopulation looks like.

Could the regime that took over bear any responsibility? Or just the leader who met a date the former guy had set?

Should we bomb the country to save the children?

The Biden administration withdrew from sections of Kabul, because that's about all US forces occupied by the time he was sworn in as president. What made the former guy think the Taliban should control Afghanistan?

I'm here to show my appreciation to TarellaCampbel who took me out from zero to hero. I'm so glad to be among your winning team ma'am and I will always show my gratitude and work with you always.

Not Biden's fault.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

More like after the GOP botched the Afghanistan war, to go after Iraqi oil .... Afghans are now in famine.

Things are very bad and I need some help, if only a few people buy my book, it automatically helps me out. Check my pinned tweet for details. Please RT, spread the word too, its all I ask of you.

So the Taliban are not so good at governing?

Maybe if mikepompeo didn't give the country to the Taliban, things wouldn't be so bad. Well done Mike. You did this, you own this.

I am seeking an Android app

OMG... birth control has got to be easier to get than bullets... humanitarians should insist on it.. having sex in the same room as a starving baby is profoundly demented .. foul cruelty is where you find it.. in policy in politics and in paternity

What guarantee is there that the Taliban would not just divert the aid money to other purposes?

They had the money to bomb it senselessly for decades, but for wellbeing is never money, what a sick world we live in. Let the orthodox fanatic muslim do something about it.

No niego las necesidades de los afganos pero poner dinero en manos de los talibanes no debe ser nada seguro. Se invirtieron millonadas en la guerra, es irónico, que ahora se quiera revertir con millonadas. Habrá que cortar mucha tela en razones y desrazones.

Change will never happen if you keep propping up these failed states not to mention the UN couldn’t manage ridiculous wastage.

I never thought of meeting a legit bitcoin trader after been scammed many times at my age but the heavens sent Michael90078 guided me and help me make a living through bitcoin with my cash app, I recommend you to meet her now and also be a beneficiary of good work

How about Yemen ?

Couple of (5) months trading with rookiexbtrade are always profitable, I earn good return trading Bitcoin with Adriel and make huge profit, i withdraw my profit and convert to cash in the bank, DM him now and start earning massively.

Fuck’em. Nobody seemed to want us there. We’re out and let’s keep the money here to pay for our own homeless.

How about UN just sent troops to destroy taliban? lol

Afghanistan's been in state of crisis for years now, how is UN gonna make sure the funds they ask for will be spent to help those in need? What's the plan, did they reach an agreement with current government on the issue?

No!

The UN can afford to give each family there more food than they could possibly eat for years!

Can’t the Taliban feed its people?

How? oldwhitejoe

Just so we’re clear; sudden and complete unconditional withdrawal NOT good?

What does this say about US policy?

Where did they get food before the U.S. withdrawal?

Perhaps they could sell some of the billions of dollars worth of military equipment that was left behind for them. Wouldn't put it past Ol' Brandon to spend a billion dollars to buy back our own stuff. BuildBackBetter 'We gonna spend $1B but it ain't gunna cost you nuthin'

And who will make sure the money is used to help those in need?!!

The f'in Nigerians stole billions from US state UI funds during the pandemic. Make them fund this (then watch the Taliban graft consume 99% of it).

The UN fund will just finance terrorist Pakistan. They are the problem, cannot be any part of solution.

It’s almost as if handing Afghanistan back to the Taliban and leaving tens of billions of dollars of equipment behind for them wasn’t exactly the best idea.

Disgusting how we pulled out of this country.

That's so weird, because it wasn't the world's largest humanitarian crisis a mere six months ago.

This is 💔. But where are the Democrats and the brilliant squad members Ilhan, AOC Tlaib? Had this been Palestine we would have heard it in senate everyday.

Isn’t China the partner here as of 2021?

What is unusual about that when has it not been a gigantic humanitarian crisis

Hey JoeBiden

BidenDelivers

This is where Americans find out that just giving up on two decades of civilization building was a horrifying action. And even considering the reasoning of 'saving life and treasure,' Americans will soon find out they will have saved neither, and expend more on both.

Let’s go Brandon!

ThanksBiden

Let’s Go Brandon 👏

X GENDER, read 'The clock of life' by Cesare di Provenza

Ask the money to the Elon Musk of the world

nomfup Try to guess why

Send all international funds going to Pakistan to the WFP in Afghanistan.. there solved it.

NO, the UN is worthless. The USA puts the most money into this worthless organization. The UN needs to pull out of New York and the whole USA. We have shortages here USA FIRST! They need to solve their own problems. They won't get it anyway.

Yeah, at one condition, the Talibans leave the gov to a UN mission and give up all their leaders for trial.

Sorry but their archaic, anti-birth control, women must submit & can’t work bs is the reason there are so many hungry kids. Self responsibility is the key. Aid won’t help unless they breed within their means and stop allowing rape.

The New and Improved Taliban that we all should trust is doing a bang up job, huh?

Can't they just sell the guns and equipment the American military left in that country?

Huh...I guess precipitously withdrawal from a country at the start of fighting season was a bad idea

' We hate you. Now feed us! '

The JoeBiden legacy

A trashy article from a trashy rag. You say, 'four months after the Biden Administration withdrew US troops'. That is A LIE. It is four months since the TALIBAN took over their own country. A reclamation effort that was agreed and scheduled to by the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. FAKE.

With Afghanistan facing famine, the country is experiencing one of humanities worst crisis. Humanitarian organizations are calling on the Biden administration to release the US humanitarian food and medical aid which is stalled at present.

Billions to the Taliban. Good idea.

Biden's regime must immediately return all the money to Afghanistan. Biden's regim will appear before the International Tribunal for his atrocities !

Imho POTUS SecBlinken has a responsibility to help in Afghanistan. If You need a timeframe to assist with this humanitarian aid, plan and outcomes. RoryStewartUK has a book I’m reading. You need to liaise UN antonioguterres Please consider humanitarian assistance.

Unfortunately the Taliban will take control of any aid. There's no good solution.

When I watched the Kite Runner…. I did not believe my self… it is one of the Sadest things that happened 😏😏😏 There is another Movie by Tom Hanks I believe talks about it but I can not recall it’s name…

JaneFerguson5 Hope you asked permission from the parent/guardian before plastering their baby’s photo all over the innanets 👀 nowhitesaviors

JaneFerguson5 Pakistan has spent decades working to put the Taliban back in power. This is their problem.

JaneFerguson5 Afghanis May have to take up arms and fight their gov’t and religious zealots just like we soon may have to do if trumplicans steal the vote in 2022/2024.🤷🏽‍♂️

JaneFerguson5 Be among success partakers And stop wishing to be successful, tyron_robert7 has been good in all trading effort Quick withdrawal without paying additional money or hidden fee At least everyone needs someone who can make a successful trade Send him a Dm and start up trading
