Most-screwed up countries in even deeper trouble as food shortages get worse
2022-12-31
[ToloNews] Save the Children in a report on Thursday said that more than 6.6 million people are facing hunger in Afghanistan which is on top of the countries facing severe hunger.

"The country with the highest number of people facing severe levels of hunger was Afghanistan where this number increased to 6.6 million in 2022 from 2.5 million in 2019," Save the Children said.

The organization said that the number of people facing severe hunger has surged in eight countries in the world by 57 percent between 2019 to 2022.

"The analysis, based on Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) data, found that Afghanistan,

had the highest numbers of people facing emergency and catastrophic levels of hunger and malnutrition, between 2019 and 2022," the report said.

A number of Kabul residents said that an increase in unemployment is one of the main reasons behind the deteriorated economic situation among people.

"It has been one year that people cannot find jobs. We are here in Haji Yaqoub Square since morning and I even didn’t have lunch yet," said Mohammad Zarif, a daily wager in Kabul.

"We are 12 people at home. I am the only breadwinner for the family," said Mohammad Sadiq, a resident of Kabul.

Analysts said that there is a need for investment in infrastructural projects to alleviate poverty in the country.
We did that. The Taliban destroyed much of that, as they destroyed the Soviet improvements before that.
"To reduce poverty in Afghanistan, there should be a focus on agriculture, investment, and management of issues that affect the poor people," said Mir Shakib Mir, an analyst in economic affairs.

"In short terms, to reduce poverty in Afghanistan, there is a need for Humanitarian assistance by the UN and other organizations as well as the ruling regime," said Siyar Quraishi, an economic affairs analyst.

#4  NOTE TO ALL ELITE AND POLITICAL TYPES

RULE #1
Take care of HOME, before taking care of the world.


Seriously
Hell, with high inflation here in the USA, those on Fixed-Incomes here are trying to figure out how to do with 20% less themselves.

Given, many of these nation's ruling elite abuse their citizen rights and steal their property.

Have an open practice of murder for simple, mundane social, cultural or political violations.

View females as little more than disposable labor, breeding machines that cook, clean house and tend to offspring.

Plus, a demonstrated history of misuse and abuse of donated $$$$$. Which is all too often used to fund Political and Private agendas. Things that have nothing to do with feeding the starving masses.

Given all this and more, my government and various charities still want my $$$$ to support this?
