bill to: In Afghanistan this month, severe cold took 166 precious lives while more than 80 thousand cattle also died.
According to the World News Agency, the cold has set in in war-torn Afghanistan since January 10, in which the number of dead has reached 166.
In the freezing cold, the weak and broken houses could not prove to be a shield for the protection of humans and animals. Women and children are also among the dead. More than a thousand houses were damaged in the snowfall.
Most of the deaths were due to lack of resources to withstand the rigors of cold weather in minus 33 temperatures, while some deaths were due to leaking gas heaters and house fires caused by wood burning for heat.
After decades of war, the Taliban has established a government in Afghanistan last year, on which international forces and organizations have frozen Afghan funds. Due to lack of funds, relief operations are facing difficulties.
On the other hand, in response to the Taliban’s ban on women’s employment in NGOs, these organizations also stopped working, which further increased the hardships of the Afghan people.
However, looking at the cold weather and the helplessness of the Afghan people, NGOs have announced to resume work, which has given hope to the victims to get some relief and assistance.
On the other hand, the Taliban government has once again demanded the restoration of Afghan funds from international forces and organizations, saying that it is necessary to have funds for relief work and these funds are the right of the Afghan people.
