'Afghanistan is on borrowed time': Afghanistan's director for the World Food Programme warns the country's health system is failing and the economy is on the brink of collapse

Afghanistan’s health system is failing and the economy is on the brink of collapse, the country’s director for the World Food Progamme has warned.

In addition to decades of conflict and displacement, Afghanistan has suffered chronic poverty, severe drought and currently the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the UN. In mid-August, the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in parallel with a US troop withdrawal from the country. And in September, the Taliban announced an interim government to administer Afghanistan affairs.John Sopko, the US special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction, said on Wednesday his office would look into allegations that former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani took millions of dollars with him when he left the country.

Sopko's Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction has long been investigating fraud, waste and abuse during America's massive state-building effort, which came to an ignoble end after 20 years with the Taliban takeover.Daesh members captured near Kabul
