With famine looming over Afghanistan, millions struggle for every meal

With the international community wary of the Taliban and the U.S. imposing sanctions, millions are facing hunger and even famine in Afghanistan.

UN estimates nearly 23 million Afghans are facing extreme levels of hunger, with nearly 9 million at risk of famine as winter takes hold. Vegetables like cauliflower are out of reach, and plastic sheets protect their home from the freezing weather.
