Afghanistan faces major humanitarian crisis

ABC News' Senior Foreign Correspondent Ian Pannell is in Afghanistan four months after U.S. troops left the country and the Taliban regained control, which has led to a hunger crisis.

I Hope Muslim countries can do something to help Afghanistan.

We care so much about the women in Afghanistan that we actively starve them. Good job Murcia

This is only a glimpse of what is happening in Yemen at this very moment. Saudi Arabia, a _dictatorship_ with strict Sharia law and a remarkable history of human rights abuses, is enforcing a blockade on Yemen and preventing almost all humanitarian aid from entering the country. And guess what? We're SUPPORTING them! Not just with words, but with _weapons._ If you _really_ think that Afghanistan would be faring better under _our_ (U.S.) occupation --- the same country that destroyed Vietnam, bombed Cambodia, illegally invaded Iraq, and drone strikes innocent Syrians --- it is most definitely time for a mental evaluation. We can help Afghanistan by providing them with foreign (and humanitarian) aid and ensuring that it goes to the right places, but that's IT. The countries we have occupied for almost two decades would like to have their indepedence now, thank you very much.

Whoever watches children starve and cry in pain are not human. And im not talking about the people that cant physically help. Because i want to help!! But idk how!!

The Saudis are swimming in money, perhaps they can help their fellow Muslims.

[commanderbell]

Taliban can't even clean their mess.

Heartbreaking. The unfortunate reality holds all the world over nearly seems to be facing some sort of humanitarian crisis. The highest of hopes for the children's future at best hopes.

Wow. Who would have guessed that religious fanatics with assault weapons wouldn't be awesome at government?

[amyketchum]

I dont wanna hear this :'( its so sad. Children shouldn't have to suffer because of adults bad choices and because of their government cant provide for their people. I fucking hate everything about this world. Just do better for your

looking at those sick childrens faces and they probably have no clue what will be next because they dont even know what its like to be a kid... its sick and only makes me want to cry and die. I will never understand why this is happening to them, like there are young geniuses amoungst them and incredibly gifted children. Theres no real reason for this to continue. why cant average /rich/ americans come to Afghanistan and build homes and grow crops and get paid for it. why isnt there a career like that. is Angelina Jolie the only american that understands the severity of this? 💔

[williamcunningham]

Why are the Chinese and islamic nations not supporting them??

[divinexxvenus]

unfortunately i keep getting reminded how hard it is to keep faith in god because this seems awfully cruel. can the middle east catch a break? wtf

[BJustChillin]

afgans need to fight the taliban. fight for yourselves and save your country. like damn..

[maivaj]

Well, China should start pouring help in. Rely on the Asian countries, they might help.

[batman-cuep]

They need to stand up for themselves and take their country back

Imagine being Jeff Bezos, being worth 200, 000 million dollars looking at this type of suffering and thinking "I need to make and hoard more money." Growth capitalism is a cancer on the planet. Billionaires are gross and should not exist.

[paulrivera]

Don’t they have $80 billion in U S arms ?? Can’t they sell those ??

[krl]

how can they be facing a crisis when they have a billion in military hardware that we left them?

There are too many homeless people in USA … worry about your own fellow citizens!
