This means more families from the villages are able to travel to our hospital with their children and his has also caused an increase in the number of patients.” Furthermore, now that the war and air raids have stopped the roads are safe. the ‘Chinese hospital’ because it was funded by China – is so overcrowded now is because we are the only clinic equipped with certain facilities in the region. The entrance to Mirwais Pediatric Ward in Kandahar ĭr Sadiq explains that while the dramatic increase in the number of patients has given some the impression that acute malnutrition has become a problem only recently, that is not the case he states. I used to sell 1 kg of pomegranates for 150 Afghani (around $ 1.60) now I sell 7 kg for 100 Afghani (around $ 1.09),” 54-year-old Mohammed tells The New Arab as he stands in his beautiful orchard of pomegranates in the province of Kandahar. “In the last year alone, I had to move nine times because of the war. Many farmers whose orchards had become the frontline of the conflict between the Taliban and the Afghan National Army, had to abandon their crops and became internally displaced ( around 665,000 civilians according to OCHA).
However, acute food insecurity began before the Taliban took over. "With approximately 3.2 million children under five at risk of severe malnutrition by the end of the year, how will their basic human right to health be ensured?"Īway from the capital, in rural areas – where nearly 70 percent of the population lives – the situation is no better. The news of eight orphaned siblings between the ages of 18 months and 8 years left to fend for themselves, and ultimately succumbed to starvation in Kabul sent a wake-up call to the international community on the harsh reality of this unprecedented food crisis. The most vulnerable and at-risk are children, particularly those under the age of five. ‘ Every anguish passes except the anguish of hunger’ states an old Afghan proverb and now with winter at the doorstep, nearly 19 million Afghans risk hunger and acute malnutrition.Īccording to UNDP, by mid-2022, 97 percent of the population could sink under the poverty line unless an adequate and urgent response to the economic crisis is launched immediately. However, since Adnan hails from Pakistan his fans in the neighbouring country trolled him for forgetting his roots.Life for Afghans has never been easy.
Just like many Indians are rejoicing in the brave step, Adnan too tweeted his happiness. The overnight operation left around 35-40 militants dead along with their ulterior motives to attack metros of the country. The citizens are taking pride in the Indian army, tweeting their feelings and openly discussing how India showed Pakistan that it has no tolerance for terrorism.
The surgical attacks which the Indian army carried out on Wednesday night has led way for a festive celebration across the nation. The tweet in which he tagged PMO of India received flak from his Pakistani fans but the singer shut them with just one tweet. Singer Adnan Sami, who in the year 2015 became an Indian citizen, praised Indian army for the surgical attacks on the terror launch pads across the border, without naming the country he originally hails from. Pak Twitter users troll Adnan Sami for supporting India’s surgical strike
