Afghanistan is facing a second crisis — a humanitarian crisis — as western countries race to pull citizens and allies from Kabul and international aid organizations, concerned with funding international terrorism, pull the plug on aid programs to the beleaguered country.
The Washington Post reports Wednesday that Afghanistan, “one of the poorest and most aid-dependent countries in the world,” is now facing several threats at once: the return of the Taliban and the departure of coalition allies, COVID-19, and a drought that has ravaged the country’s food supply leaving at least a third of the population without food.
