fast hung up half the country's population doesn't know where it's next me. we've come from some or even resorting to selling the organs for food. second, i've got some children with no food to eat. many are ending up in hospitals that are themselves unable to cope with the never ending stream of malnourished kids. and 3rd, the economy, which is at a standstill, gosh, is in short supply and revenue on us like this to it is a hotspot, a lying empty ah irish energy, welcome to the dublin, use asia. glad you could join us. millions in afghanistan are going hungry. aid agencies estimates half the population doesn't know where it's next meal is coming

from it, leading to desperation, that relief organizations are trying hard to fight. but the sure numbers of people needing help make it an almost impossible challenge. i. every day go now sits on the side of bitterly cold highway to cobble with her thumb, begging they wait for cars to slow and give a few crumpled bills. on a good day, she gets nearly $3.00. most day it's less than that though it is because we don't have any heating ovens at home. my children don't have anything to eat. they live hungry calling me it's winter and we have no firewood for heating, we have nothing. we have nothing at home and every day whether it's raining or snowing, we come and sit here like a mission info, nun bush, a mission. afghans are desperate for food. nearly 3000000 are displaced in

their own country, driven from their homes by dr. war and famine. the extent of the problem now, enough, gunnison for people is dire. 23000000 people are food insecure and what that means is 23000000 people don't know where the next meeting coming from. the world food program, enough gone, is done, reckons it needs 2600000000 dollars this year, but that only amounts to $0.30 per person. per day. we're calling this race against time. we need to get to families in very difficult, hard to reach areas. it's winter, it's cold that snow. the w. f. p distributes food vouchers to the neediest. word spreads quickly through the streets that food is being distributed. one soon,

scores of men and women are scrambling for rations. with us. as the humanitarian crisis deepens, people are being forced to sell their own organs under the ongoing crisis, some or even forced to sell their children to survive. oh my god with i'm done with no, no one can tell me to sell my children, but we are struggling to keep them alive. and that's why we thought of selling them . maybe it will be better for them and we can get food for the others. susanna, this woman has already sold her kidney and lost one child starvation very soon she will have nothing left to sacrifice. so madame, so there was a she, she might, yeah. of grandson's food crisis is ult, visible in its hospitals, in the form of malnourished children needing medical aid. so weeks hardy

had nothing to eat. her mother could no longer breast her and the family couldn't afford to buy milk. 14 days ago they brought her to this hospital and cobble caught up with them because she was much worse before she fed milk every hour and she can keep it down because the family situation has severely deteriorated in the past few months. then i have skyrocketed . i have 3 sons and the daughter we were able to buy food, but recent developments of hitches massively, especially the evaluation of the currency and inflation. i'm a widow and live in someone else's apartment ness sakina usa fi would normally look after 5 patients. now she has over 20, the number of people currently seeking hospital treatment, far outstrips capacity. was going to get that issue for me. she

must say more and more of the children. we see here a malnourished was this. when you go to our mission, we need more medicine, more space, more staff and other resources for the many patients in new york, michigan. recently, the international red cross has been supporting the hospital with financial aid and medicine. the tara comes from a suburb of cobble and brought her son to the children's ward, joe mo, most my husband is a teacher. he's not being paid for the last 3 or 4 months. i sold a ring, so i could bring my son here for treatment. the family can only afford tea and bread to eat. often there's not enough money for gas for heating or cooking. later on, they say my husband will receive his salary, but i don't know. that will happen. last week they announced they would pay and

they still haven't. mm hm. so tara has the equivalent of just under 20 years left from the sale of her ring. she doesn't know how she'll get by off to that loan, whom she lou, my son, and the son of that. we can only keep the children here for a maximum of 2 months. we can't keep them any longer because we have to make room for other children, even including the who do then see which was the want to saw. people come to us from all over the country, india madame economically. so the children only go home once, they're well enough, but often they're back within a few months when their parents have no more food left to give them. and the dollars jeweler so daily spoke about of drama, san samaritan crisis, with the head of the world food program, david beesley, mister beesley could you give us a picture of the humanitarian emergency unfolding right now in afghanistan, afghanistan was already one of the poor structures in the world with train of 20

years, at least of conflict with the taliban. and now what we're facing is catastrophic. the number of people that literally are knocking on starvation is door is 23000000 people out of 40000000 people. it is horrific. in fact, i've been there several times of the meeting with families, mothers and fathers. in fact, one mother was telling me how she had to sell her daughter to get food for her family in the hopes that her daughter could be well fed by another family. and so mothers and families are having to choose because they have no money do if they do have any money, do i buy a cookie? no, to feed my children, or do i buy heating? oh, to keep my children from freeze to death. this is how horrific it is in afghanistan right now. what kind of difficulties are you encountering in delivering food to the people in need? there,

we've been operating in afghanistan before the taliban took over in and quite frankly, it's been quite remarkable. the access that we have, the taliban, i have met with our teams have met with out in the provinces as well as in cobble. and they have assured us allowing us to operate in partially independently neutrally. and dave honored that we've been able to operate, do what we need to do to reach the innocent victims of this conflict if we get the money that we need. and that's our biggest limitation right now we can reach the afghan people without any one including the taliban, interfering with our operations in that extremely important for us. that is a humanitarian effort. enough sanctions and asset freezes have been applied to the taliban since they came into government and they are hitting the on a me in afghanistan. hard. should these measures be reconsidered? so the long term solution is not humanitarian aid. the long term solution is going

to be the international community, figuring the path forward so that afghanistan can revitalize, is economy and move on with this life. because we've got so many crises right now around the world. because if we don't have enough of money more wide, where am i going to get the money to feed all the children in afghanistan? am i going to take it from the children and syria, the children in ethiopia, the children in easier? molly, so this is a very serious issue in the leaders around the world have yet to really sit down and find a pragmatic way forward. otherwise it's going to be catastrophic. as you've said, there's urgent need for funding, not only for afghanistan, but also for other emergencies. around the world, like yemen and syria, you have many times appealed to the leaders and the millionaires of the world for funding. what has the response been so far? during this coven experience the world's billionaires have made unprecedented money over $5200000000.00 of net worth increase per day. all we

need is one day's worth of their net worth increase to really address our short term crisis. is that too much to ask? i don't think so because the world needs the world billionaires who profited during coven, to help the world's poor david beasley, executive director of the world food program. thank you. thank you. and with the huge challenges facing of jonathan since the thought of on takeover, it seems almost trivial to think about its tourism industry. but prior to the taliban coming to power tourism did to create local economies that helped sustain communities of gone, struggling to different parts of their country, providing much needed employment for tour guides, boat operators and other professions. but since august last year old that has dried up leaving tourism industry workers in the lodge, the deep blue lakes of bundy,

amier, a pristine mountain landscape, 3000 meters above sea level. it's afghanistan's 1st and only national park. the area usually attract thousands of visitors a year. all that changed with the taliban takeover. now it's deserted. the normally busy kiosks empty and padlocked cobbler who held it used to be very good and there was scheme, programs, and competitions in the winter. they used to be so many tourists. but since the taliban came in the last 4 months, we haven't seen any tourists in bonds. mia? 3 see that the one has more of them had met him today. visitors are greeted by arm taliban soldiers and vehicle inspections. of towns once flocked to bundy mere looking for a break from decades of conflict. the region prospered, but now it's taken a double hit from the pandemic and the economic crisis following the taliban victory over melbourne when them,

it's 70 to 80 families living in the village. and their livelihoods depend entirely on tourism. couldn't be always thought if they are tourists. their income is good, if not one, they have nothing on mission. without the tourists, the striking beauty of the mountains remains. but the people who live here are facing a winter of hardship. fortunately though some help is a getting through, believe it today with images of some of those aid efforts with you next week by i we got some hot tips for your bucket list. ah, magic corner chat hotspot for foody chat and some great
