Children in particular are suffering from the looming famine in Afghanistan - the result of a recent drought and the withdrawal of international aid organisations after the Taliban regained control of the country. Across the country, it is almost impossible for people to find work. Much of the population has been forced to sell their most necessary possessions to support their families, and often this is no longer possible. The children’s wards in every hospital throughout the country are overcrowded. David Beasley, executive director for the UN's World Food Programme, told DW that "the number of people that are knocking on starvation's door is 23 million people out of 40 million people."
