KABUL: Afghan citizens are facing a deepening humanitarian crisis, with widespread poverty, hunger, and deprivation leaving millions vulnerable as winter sets in, Afghan media reported. Families across the country are struggling to survive the harsh cold, with children in many areas lacking adequate clothing, shoes, and basic necessities.
According to Amoo TV, the situation has grown increasingly dire, as ordinary residents contend with limited access to food, clean water, and essential supplies. One local resident described the stark reality: “We cannot protect our children from the harsh cold. They have no warm jackets or shoes, and every day is a struggle to feed them.” Such testimonies paint a bleak picture of life for millions in Afghanistan, where extreme hardship has become a daily reality.
The United Nations estimates that nearly 20 million Afghans are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance this year, a figure that underscores the scale of the emergency. Aid agencies have warned that without immediate intervention, winter could bring widespread suffering and loss of life, particularly among children and vulnerable populations.
Analysts said the crisis reflects a combination of economic collapse, political instability, and ongoing conflict, which have together left households unable to meet even their most basic needs. Reports indicate that residents are increasingly dependent on aid, while the lack of clothing, fuel, and heating supplies compounds the risks posed by freezing temperatures.
Observers emphasized the urgent need for coordinated international relief efforts to provide food, shelter, and warm clothing, noting that timely assistance could prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation.
