Hunger and poverty have stalked Afghanistan's children for decades, but since the Taliban seized power two months ago, the nation has been spiralling into a deep humanitarian crisis.

According to the United Nations, if humanitarian assistance doesn't come soon, more than a million children will die of malnutrition.

"People come here because they are hungry, they need food, but all you are able to give them is flour and salt," Wahid Ahmad Darwesh, one of the organizers at the center, told CBS News. "Right now, in this situation, it is good for them — not enough, but it will save their life.""I am sorry, the Taliban make problem every day, as you will see," the aid worker apologized.

During the 20-year U.S.-led military involvement in Afghanistan, the country's economy was propped up mainly by U.S. funding and other international aid. With little left to fill that void, more and more Afghans are resorting to selling whatever they can."That's all I have," she said. She was hoping to make about one dollar.

Post-war Afghanistan has set off a new competition amongst regional powersThe so-called natural partners in the Afghan conflict have varied apprehensions from the Taliban victory inspiring rebellion in China's Muslim-dominated Xinjiang province to militants infiltrating former Soviet republics. What a hypocrisy.. While USA, UK & the West are still being 'advised' by their army of Afghan 'interpretors'to punish Afghan people any way they can. Our British govt can't see why the huge Afghan army did not fight their fellow Afghans and how the corrupt Afghan govt& their beneficiaries ran away
