the taliban had presided over an economy in free fall. this has fueled one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters. as the w subtle of petersburg found out. i should warn you that the 1st images in this report are disturbing. ah, this is chad. c a b, b. o. she was born just before the taliban returned to power, shall he has strep between 2 curses that challenged the best efforts of doctors hearing, cobbling, trying to help her. oh, you see a 1000000 jamita flesh. she is suffering from both severe pneumonia and severe malnutrition. her pneumonia has actually caused her malnutrition, lot spicy maloof to that model that essentially are lower. see that i think as i for them, the prognosis of children like her with severe malnutrition is not very good as

their growth development. and intelligence may be affected. list of those on the home. that was a problem. shes yes, mother did not want to be filmed, but she told us she has 8 children and is pregnant with her 9th. there is never enough food at home, she set and no money for medicine. half of afghanistan's people are experiencing acute foot insecurity. that's 20000000 people who are so hungry, their lives are at risk as we drive to cobble it. facts and figures become faces. this is one of the wet food program centers in the east of the city. landed, i got a project manager of a local 8 organization, is in charge here. the worst part of the job choosing who should get supplies. it is exactly very difficult for as how to choose the right person over the air. many

of them they are hungry, many of them they are in need. many of them even they are running after as when we are giving the verification in selection. but sir, we cannot do all. we can not provide food for all those he picks get 50 k g of wheat, just of a 6 k g of lentils, and 5 liters of cooking i. there are also packets of peanut butter, paste for children, and special nutrition for pregnant women. it's supposed to feed a family for 3 months. it hardly ever does. o. s. the sky starts to darken over cobble. if we visit a bakery in the north. people with money buy fresh bread for dinner. sometimes they buy extra for the desperate women who sit outside hoping for charity. many of them are widows. many have walked for more than an hour to get here. we act on as mammy,

they are forced to beg. why else would we sit here all day again? as as that a vision vision vill yak, thought the thigh i take the bread home and i eat with my children, got them but it's not enough to fill our stomachs. i divide the bread and pieces and give it to my children so that none of them dies, make it, but our stomachs are never full because of all my name may muddy. my name is thea, to make money bakery own i am your dell, half marty has registered around 1000 women for the bread donations only though is with a car to get a loaf. it's his way to try to help, but also to keep the situation under control, o 8 of of what that additional cut them catch on egg associate. i started this project out of a strong sense will be due autism because our people, our job, lucy morris, the international community has stopped their assistance for us that we are forced to fight for our people. i'm for our land to know what that a, my, them all of that a hawk him omega m a water. zack wanted afghans and not only victims of mess of 8

cutbacks, but also of the sanctions against their fundamentalists, rulers billions of dollars of national assets. how to brought a frozen st markets continue, but the wider economy is collapsing and the taliban have no experience of serving millions of desperate people in crisis. not a single country has recognized. there is him. this per status is costing ask and steely. and ne w's under the petersburg who filed that report, joined us now from cobble and sandra afghanistan as clearly in a desperate state. is there any prospect for improvement? well the situation is really diary and there is no real indication as of now that things will improve right now. the word food program is feeding half the population . 20000000 people. that is, and more and more people get jobs less because the economy is crumbling as

collapsing, people are forced out of jobs. shops have to close down and with shops closing down . of course, people get sent home without money and the prices of living here are increasing for people and there are less and blessed people who can really afford good quality food. and so what you see here on the streets is an increasing number of beggars. and at the hospitals you see an increasing number of children who have to be admitted to the mount attrition wards and are hardly enough beds for every one. and we are looking at cobble year at the capital where 8 is to reaching. just imagine how desperate the situation is and the remote country site and how to reach areas. the tell above have been in power for a year now. do afghans willingly accept them as their legitimate government sandra? well, they don't really have a choice. this is a taliban off. this is a government of the taliban for the taliban. and we were witness of

a demonstration of voices of descent on saturday morning when a group of about 40 women assembled and the road that runs past the ministry of education and authorities here allowed them to march for approximately 500 meters. but then some taliban fighters started firing life shots to disperse this very small crowd. a very brave women. and what is happening here that people just stay indoors, try to voice. they are concerned more on social media or behind wards because they are really afraid of these new rulers out there who know how to ruin with a gun, but don't really know how to serve a people in crisis. but you've been covering up yellowstone for many years on what strikes you most about the country today. what i really find hard to come to terms with is that on the one side, there is without a doubt increased security. i myself am the last couple of years i was here. i

couldn't walk the streets out of fear of suicide attacks or battles interrupting just like that because frontiers were so unclear and now you can walk the street searing, cobbled there. i tell you bon checkpoints every, a few 100 meters and so, and you really do get checked, you have to show your papers. but the sense of security doesn't really transform to a better life for people. that economic crisis is all encompassing and fear in insecurity. really have a firm hold of people and a lot of women that we spoke to, especially women, really want to leave the country. i can still try. i can still remember one teacher who re tried almost on my shoulders, saying she finds it so hard to tell her as students that they cannot come back to school and without schooling, there is no future for them in this country. chandler, thank you very much, shar correspondence, daniel pete rosemont in couple now to kenya,
